If you like social history, like learning about what life was like there, then or now, these two sites provide an interesting contrast. One is a nostalgic look back at colonial life pre-1960 by a number of ex-colonials; the second provides interesting "slice of life" stories about the DRC now, and is written by a collective of Congolese journalists under the direction of Cédric Kalonji.

Then.
What life is like in the Congo
Now.A short history of the DRC from 1998 to 2006 by Gauthier de Villers, a French sociologist, is available
here.
And here is a book of photographs of the Congo. A little National Geographic-y for my taste, but some might like it. Order
here.
