Books on my mind
A. J. Jacobs: The Know-It-All: One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Person in the World
I love A.J. Jacobs. He's the best!Laurie Notaro: Autobiography of a Fat Bride: True Tales of a Pretend Adulthood
Hilarious from beginning to end!Elizabeth Gilbert: Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia
This book rocked my world. Completely.Aidan Hartley: The Zanzibar Chest
This book has stayed with me (a year later). It's an incredible story. The author is a reporter in Africa. He was in Somalia and Rwanda. The stories are harrowing and heartbreaking.Robert Fisk: The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East
I'm only 150 pages in, but it's going to be on my recommonded list for a long time. Everyone should read this book if they want to understand the middle east.Eric Blehm: The Last Season
The true story of a backcountry Ranger in the Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Forests who went missing. I read about it on Powells.com when the author was a guest blogger. Great so far.anderson cooper: Dispatches from the edge
I've been waiting for this book to come out . It was a good as I thought it would be. Can I just say that I love Anderson Cooper? Yeah, it's weird, I know. But I do.Anne Garrels: Naked in Baghdad : The Iraq War and the Aftermath as Seen by NPR's Correspondent
This ended up being beyond good. Thanks for the recommondation, Becky. I loved it. Ann Garrels does a good job of pointing out that we operate under such delusions when it comes to foreign policy.Mark Bowden: Guests of the Ayatollah
It's about the Iran Hostage Crisis in 1979. I barely remember this. This book totally rocks. Bowden really did his homework.Emma Larkin: Finding George Orwell in Burma
This book is as good as I expected it to be. Everyone should read this and 1984. Right Now. Today. I read this as a harbinger of things to come in this country if we don't do something.Lance Armstrong: It's Not About The Bike
I re-read this recently. He's my hero.
