Unbearable Lightness

by Portia De Rossi

Now I know what I'd say to her if I met her.

Invisible Darkness: The horrifying case of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka

By Stephen Williams.

Never read this book. The first half is rape and sexual torture porn, and the author is somehow both cheesy and sanctimonious.

Innocent Blood

by Terry Ganey

Certainly puts the lie to the Dexter/Lecter charming serial killer stereotype. Plus, inter-state policing in the 70's was appallingly dysfunctional.

by Ann Rule

Lots of one-sentence paragraphs, for impact. A crazy story.

dress your family in courduroy and denim

by David Sedaris have to hear him read more.

The Wordy Shipmates

by Sarah Vowell

by David Sedaris

This is like the opposite of once, in the sense that even the sad stories are happy.

How Jesus Became Christian

by Barrie Wilson.

Wow.  How haven't I heard these things before?

Reads like a relatively entertaining dissertation, though it repeats itself so many times you only nead to read about a quarter, I think.

ANGLER

by Barton Gellman

Dreams From My Father

Written before Obama was a candidate for almost anything in 1992, which is a treat.

The Turk

by Tom Standage

MUST BUILD WOODEN ROBOT

Man's Search for Meaning

by Viktor Frankl

Sounds way ahead of his time.

Honeymoon in Purdah

by Alison Wearing

Wow. I have to go to Iran.

Scourge: the once and future threat of smallpox

by Jonathan B. Tucker

Interesting, and much less frightening than you would think.

The Prince of the Marshes

by Rory Stewart

Finished Today.
I guess even the people who made some right decisions couldn't get things to work out in Iraq. Not in 1-2 years, anyway.
