Anything rated four or five stars here (http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/189840?shelf=designedtobreakyourheart) is probably a good place to start. It's a mix of fiction and non-fiction, depending on what you want. Or if you are interested in particular aspects or subjects, I could recommend a few titles out of those to start with?

What's funny is that I was actually just looking at your goodreads and I didn't realize that was what your tags meant! Oh me.

Also I am not sure exactly what I want to read, but that gives me a lot of stuff to look through. Thank you very much!

ahahahahaahaha whoops, sorry. Sometimes my shelves are incomprehensible to anyone but me, but my baseball shelf is a reference to a quote from an old commissioner of baseball:
"It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, you rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then, just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops." -- A. Bartlett Giamatti
It's my favorite line ever written about baseball.

If you have any questions about any of them that my reviews (or, uh, lack thereof) don't answer, holler at me.
