Stuff I'd recommend from the past three months.
Count of Monte Cristo (Dumas), Native Son (Wright), War and Peace (Tolstoy), Metamorphoses (Ovid). No-doubter must-reads in the Western canon.
Abundance (Klein, Thompson). Must-read for contemporary economic and political discourse.
The President Is a Sick Man: Wherein the Supposedly Virtuous Grover Cleveland Survives a Secret Surgery at Sea and Vilifies the Courageous Newspaperman Who Dared Expose the Truth (Algeo). Entertaining read if only because this would be utterly impossible today.
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind (Harari). Covering the entirety of human existence is enough to score high, especially when done so well.
The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women (Moore). Beautiful, infuriating, gripping.
Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law (Roach). She is laugh-out-loud funny when she corrals a topic, and this was a particular hearty one.
Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams (Walker). Borderline 5, that's how impactful it has been to my view of the world.
How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence (Pollan). I stumbled into this amazing read.
