Consider the Lobster: And Other Essays
David Foster Wallace

Back Bay Books, 2007

Smart, eclectic, and hilariously funny.
Full disclosure: I have a major intellectual crush on David Foster Wallace. Yes, yes, I know about his weaknesses - the digressions, the rampant footnote abuse, the flaunting of his amazing erudition, the mess that is 'Infinite Jest'. I know all this, and I don't care. ...
  
  











  



  
Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10
Marcus Luttrell

Back Bay Books, 2008

MUST READ!
I have to say this book is an absolute MUST READ! It is mind blowing what these men went through and the story that is told from it. I don't think any movie could ever do this book or story for that matter any justice. I would recommend this book to anyone, even war ...
  
  











  



  
The Catcher in the Rye
J.D. Salinger

Back Bay Books, 2001

Will stick with you
This is the kind of book that people of all ages remember their whole lives. It's indescribable how the story can sweep you off into Holden's life, the angst he feels, and the time in which he lived. Truly a great work that is worth reading if you have not and worth ...
  
  











  



  
Infinite Jest
David Foster Wallace

Back Bay Books, 2006

Great even if you don't get everything
I didn't, like one reviewer here suggested, look up every word I didn't know in the dictionary (and there were a lot. Antinomy?) I didn't even read all the footnotes, because after a while this was, even though it was a great book, one of those books where you start ...
  
  











  



  
The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
Malcolm Gladwell

Back Bay Books, 2002

Must read book
Macolm Gladwell's approach in this book is that of an observer. His deductions are thoroughly logical and offer a refreshing alternative to traditional thought. This book was a joy to read. I am also half way through his second book entitled Blink. As an author he ...

A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again: Essays and Arguments
David Foster Wallace

Back Bay Books, 1998

Sheer genius.
David Foster Wallace is one awesomely smart guy. This is both his greatest strength and his potential Achilles heel as a writer. Personally, I will read anything this man writes, because I think he is a true genius with a rare sense of compassion, and a hilarious sense ...

Robin A. McKenzie

Real Education: Four Simple Truths for Bringing America's Schools Back to Reality
Charles Murray

Crown Forum, 2008

Four simple points that show how we need to reform and free our educational system
Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a system of education that actually prepared everyone for happy and productive lives? Instead, we try to stuff everyone into procrustean k-12 model and wonder why we have so many "failures". Worse, we tell every high school graduate ...

Me Talk Pretty One Day
David Sedaris

Back Bay Books, 2001

Still the One
By far my favorite of all his books. Dress Your Family in Corduroy comes in second and Naked comes in third. His new one with the skeleton on the cover didn't impress. His dry wit and sarcasm make me laugh out loud. He is able to instill humor in the most ...
