Just reading a book doesn't mean you agree with it. In fact its best to be informed so that you can disagree for the right reasons. I'd read Mein Kampf given the chance. In fact I think I did read part of it in one of my college courses. I've read peices of The Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey. That doesn't make me a Satanist. I am, in fact, a Christain.
I recently finished The World Without Us by Alan Weisman. I highly recommend it. It's a non-fiction book about what would happen to the world if every human suddenly disappeared/left/died. How our structures would crumbe (or not) and how the world would heal itself (or not). It is fascinating, and a very easy read. Sometimes non-fiction books can be rather dense with factual information but this was entertaining. Kind of like the Discovery Channel.
