I rate Complicity as well. Though it is an incredibly disturbing book.

I'm reading "Darwin's Dangerous Idea" and it's really interesting. I know it sounds like a creationist book but it's not, it's about how evolution and natural selection are at the core of everything we know, from society to art (he likes his memes). I'd recommend it if you liked "The Selfish Gene". Now that was sweet.
