Three Cups of Tea
Greg Mortenson
Greg Mortenson went from climbing mountains to moving mountains all towards the end of building schools for the children of northern Pakistan and Afghanistan. THE most inspiring book that I have read this year.

Oh, The Glory of It All
Sean Wilsey
Wilsey was one of the founding editors of McSweeney's and he's an entertaining writer. I kept thinking that this must be a novel, but apparently it's all true. A cautionary tale for me about how not to bring up baby.

King of California
Mark Arax & Rick Wartzman
At once a history of the cotton industry, water rights in California, the migrant worker movement and the industrialization of agriculture, focusing on the most influential company dynasty in the world that seems to control it all. Right in our own backyard. |

An account of J.W. Powell, the exploration of the Colorado Plateau and the early mapping of the West, by one of the West's greatest. |

The Autobiography of
Michel de Montaigne

A chronological copy and paste using translations of original Montaigne sources. Very interesting as background on the essays, and a beautifully done edition by the Godine Press. |
