I grew up watching my mom read Agatha Christie novels, but I never took any interest in them at all. Mystery held any appeal to me...until a bibliophile relative got into Agatha Christie and bought a complete set of her mysteries. I picked up "And Then There Were None," and was hooked. She had an amazing ability to build a mystery. "And Then There Were None" doesn't really fit the following description (it's intense, imo), but if you're looking for interesting reading for the end of the day that's entertaining, and doesn't demand 100% of your brain cells, Agatha Christie fits the bill.
UNDAUNTED COURAGE (Lewis and Clark Expedition) by Steven Ambrose; HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE, by Frank Minirth, MD and Paul Meier, MD; THE ENDURANCE, SHACKLETON'S INCREDIBLE VOYAGE, by Alfred Lansing (not the similar book by another author!).
The Brothers Karamazov by Feodor Dostoyevsky.
A murder mystery that examines the three aspects of everyman in the persons of the three brothers.
The Eldest - The man of the flesh.
The Middle - The man of the intellect.
The Youngest - The man of the spirit.
