An Anthropologist On Mars: Seven Paradoxical Tales by Oliver Sacks (I love all his books)
"...seven narratives of neurological disorder....These men, women, and one extraordinary child emerge as brilliantly adaptive personalities, whose conditions have not so much debilitated them as ushered them into another reality"

I'm so excited! One of my favorite authors, Mary Roach, just released her latest book: Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal.
Her books tend to pick a subject- sex, death, ghosts, space travel-- and answer all the quirky and obscure questions you've never thought of, but once you hear the question, you HAVE to know the answer (or at least I do). She's a writer of (weird) science who uses lots of humor and outsider perspective to make her subjects accessible. About once a year, I re-read her first book, Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, because it's just that good. Her latest book focuses on the digestive system, starting with the sense of smell (and what makes a good wine taster), down through the stomach (where she explains why it doesn't eat itself), and on down to the anatomy of the rectum, and of course what comes out of it (and answers the question: did Elvis really die of constipation?). In the introduction, she writes that her aim is not to gross the reader out, but to fascinate...though she admits being grossed out is probably unavoidable. And I admit I look forward to being grossed out, because she'll have me laughing and learning the whole time.

Still working on Memoirs of a Geisha. I started reading this before news of the movie came out- then I had to stop. I finally picked it back up a few months ago.... and i'm still not done. Need to get on the ball!

Whether I need to or not...;-)
I know this thread lends itself more toward books etc but I just have to say that I recently decided I need to be more informed in my citizenry--and certainly more globally informed as well. So I recently subscribed to the New York Times, which in addition to being fairly global in it's scope also has the most amazing pictures! I've been enjoying them on my iPad...good for the soul. And also, the LGBT wedding announcements are fucking wonderful to read. That is all. Carry on. :-)

Juvenile Fiction
So for years everyone has been trying to get me to read Harry Potter and Twilight and stuff, and I'm like "Hmmm, no. How about I read some Mian Mian or Dostoyevsky or Michelle Tea because I'm a grown-up, no thank you." I'm pretty embarrassed about it, but I'm kinda super into the Hunger Games now. I had to buy the third book in hard copy, and I wanted to wear sunglasses and a trench coat to the juvenile fiction section. But I guess I don't care... I love those books.
