Now reading John McPhee's Annals of the Former World.
Funnily enough I just finished McPhee's "Rising From the Plains" (which I assume is part of or at least related to this book) today. I've been looking for a pop-geology book for years. He is a gifted writier. and this definitely was fun to read, but you can only do so much with a geology text.
Anyway I usually save this for the end of the year but here is my list so far:
John McPhee - Basin and Range
Ashley Ford - Somebody's Daughter
Oprah Winfrey - The Path Made Clear
Anne Proulx - Fen, Bog, and Swamp
Garrett Graft - The Only Plane in the Sky
Matthew Desmond - Poverty by America

bell hooks - The Will to Change
Bill Bishop and Robert Cushing - The Big Sort
Charlotte Weber - Tell Me What You Want
Sebastian Junger - Freedom
