The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
Michael Pollan
Penguin, 2007
Must Read (before you eat)
An essential book to inform and humanize us about our place in the food chain and the choices we have in the marketplace (perhaps the best way to vote). Pollard weaves a strand of his own story, affectionate and self-effacing, as he single-handedly bushwhacks the ways ...

Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?
Seth Godin
Portfolio Hardcover, 2010
The only purpose of starting is to deliver
Initially I was somewhat dismayed by the title of this book, as most indispensable people I have come across, became so by camping and holding anyone at bay who might try to move into their field. But wow I am glad that I nonetheless picked up this awesome little book. ...

Cutting for Stone (Vintage)
Abraham Verghese
Vintage, 2010
Colombia it is not
The first ~2/3rds of the book read almost like "Thousand Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, but set in Addis Abbaba rather than Colombia. Then, it turns into the "surgical residency" story - but with twists that require those first 2/3rds of the book to ...

William P. Young
Windblown Media, 2007
Inspiring
I found the book to be captivating and read it in two days. I don't care what accusations are being made about this book because I believe, fiction or non fiction, it was divinely inspired. Thank you W. Paul Young!

The Survivors Club: The Secrets and Science that Could Save Your Life
Ben Sherwood
Grand Central Publishing, 2010
Paramedic thoughts...
I have read so many survival books and none compare to this one. Most others read like an instruction manual with a very short opening chapter on positive attitude. Survivor Club however takes more of a scientific approach to survival. All the quizzes and ...
