If your Recently Read book list is limited to Twilight, or even if it's not, stop what you're doing and read every book you can by Erik Larson. Luckily he's only written three books, so it won't take you long.

Begin with this:It's about the Chicago World's Fair and a serial killer who murdered all kinds of tourists while they were there. Did you know the Ferris Wheel was invented for the Chicago World's Fair? Also, corn flakes? If you read this book, you'll learn things like that. And the thing is: it's all true. It is a true-to-life, nonfiction book that reads like a novel, and is as good/better than any Law and Order episode you've ever seen (minus Brisco and Green, but there are some other neat detectives anyway). You won't be able to put it down, for real. Creep factor to the max!!!

Then read this:
This is the one I'm reading right now, and it's about the development of wireless communication in the early 1900s, and the murder of a B-grade variety show celebrity by her quiet, mousy husband (who was involved in the early years of over-the-counter medicine). Did you ever stop to think about how home pharmacy was not always a reality? Or exactly what it took to develop early technology that lets me text message 200 times a day? Or how early paranormal research relates to either of those things?? I hadn't ever thought about it either, but you should, because it's awesome.

Now go on-- set Bella and Edward aside. You've read those books 80 times anyway.
