Some of these I've read in the past year. Some I intend to in the next.
THE ICE-SHIRT: A Novel

William T. Vollmann

A wonderfully complex weaving of myth, history and travelogue into a tapestry of hallucinogenic richness.
EINSTEIN'S DREAMS

Alan P. Lightman

An absolutely delightful, thought provoking novel. Bears reading and re-reading. Small volume with short chapters. There is no excuse for not reading it.
GUNS, GERMS, AND STEEL: The Fates of Human Societies

Jared Diamond

Pulitzer Prize winning book that proports to explain much about why the world is the way it is. I haven't read it yet and am looking forward to it.
THE ETERNAL FRONTIER: An Ecological History of North America and it's Peoples

Tim Flannery

I read a NY Times Book Review of it and was interested. Haven't read it yet.
THE LAST PLACE ON EARTH

Roland Huntford

(Previously published as SCOTT AND AMUNDSEN)

I am in the early stages of a project based on this story. It's a wonderful story and an interesting lesson on the nature of history.
ISHMAEL

Daniel Quinn

A controversial book. I know people who love it and people who hate it. I like parts of it but can't decide what I feel about the entire thing. Interesting perspective on the nature of the human species, in any case.
