Billy recommends the weekly podcast from Books on the Nightstand, a blog written by two folks in the publishing industry about books, bookstores, and the publishing world.
Edip's nightstand is heavy with history books. "I am reading a few books at the moment. The first one is called A New Republic by John Lukacs. It is a very provoking book which analyzes 20th century American history from a socio-cultural perspective. The other two books are The Ancien Regime, a book on French history before the Revolution written by an English scholar, C.B.A. Behrens, and A History of England written by a French scholar, Andre Maurois. These are not your typical history books--they combine historical narrative with broad analyses and fluent styles."
