sally_mariaTwo completely different works I'm currently enjoying:
Double Agent Vader by Fialleril
The one where Vader turned double agent for the Rebellion about three years after ROTS, and Leia is now his primary contact with the Rebellion.
Tatooine slave stories, another perspective on the Star Wars universe and as the author tags it "truly ridiculous amounts of painful irony" A series of connected short pieces rather than a single story, but each one is a treat.

The Rituals of Dinner: the origins, evolution, eccentricities, and meaning of table manners by Margaret Visser
A fascinating anthropological study of the origins of our modern day food rituals, how they've changed over time and how they vary around the world. It's both scholarly and readable, and really gives a sense of why we are so attached to our particular ways, and find others so odd.
