Reading suggestions?

Having finally gotten around to replacing my Boston Public Library card, I'm in the mood to read. Any recommendations? In general, I prefer nonfiction to fiction; in fiction, I gravitate toward mysteries. (Not fantasy or SF. Yeah, I know, I'm weird.) In nonfiction, history, history of science, stuff about evolution, stuff about language. And I'm open to other ideas. (I've read The Devil in Dover, which I recommend, BTW.)

IMHO, the books are better than the TV adaptation!

We recently read a bunch of the Margaret Frazer mysteries (had to start in the middle 'cause that's what our library had. _The Reeve's Tale_ (I think that's the one we started with) was wonderful, and we liked most if not all of the ones that followed it. (They're set in the decade or 2 leading up to the Wars of the Roses, FWIW.) Decidedly recommended.
