I'm a little behind in times, and have recently just discovered the art known as torrenting books. I'm currently reading Think Like A Champion by Donald Trump. Looking for more recommendations as I am looking to read a few books over winter break.

Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow
One of the better historical biographies I've ever read. Hamilton is a great subject and this book provides wonderful insight into the mood/environment that operated at the nation's founding. Truly fascinating subject.
The Indifferent Stars Above by Daniel Brown- It's a book describing the Donner Party. I'm about 200 pages in, and it's really interesting. It took me a while to really get into it, as the author tends to give tons of details about everything, but the further I get in the book the more I appreciate the details. It's amazing what people went through during that time to move out west.
Pulphead by John Jeremiah Sullivan- Collection of essays by a great writer. The essays cover a variety of subjects, but they are all interesting.
Game of Thrones- I've never liked Fantasy or SciFi (I even hated Lord of the Rings), but I really like this series. I just finished the second book of the series, and will start the third one soon. Great characters, and lots of action/twist...
