Jules Verne : "Journey to the Centre of the Earth
" and "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
". I honestly only read these books because Jim designed their sweet 3D covers. But you know what? They were pretty good. If I ever have children, I will require them to read Jules Verne stories. Also, I need a cool submarine.

" and "The Lost Continent
". I'd lost track of how many people told me I HAD to read "A Walk in the Woods" so when I found it in a box at my dad's, I decided I should probably start reading. I loved it. I missed out on a camping trip this year and this seems to have filled the void. "The Lost Continent" was great too, but doesn't quite reach a five star status in my book (aka on my Goodreads).

" and "Chuck Klosterman IV: A Decade of Curious People and Dangerous Ideas
". Klosterman is Klosterman. Great pop culture essays as always but what I really loved about "IV" was the piece of short fiction at the end. I actually did read it twice and told a bunch of people about how wonderful it was, practically begging them to read it also. Do it.

". Another book I honestly only chose because of the designer. Matt Roeser did a great job on this cover and the second I saw it on the bookshelf I bought it (and then tweeted about it). I read it all on the plane ride to and from Detroit and when it was over I decided my life has been seriously lacking in the Max Barry area. I can't wait to read more from him.

I'm also currently reading "Blink
" after having it unread on my shelf for about three years now. It's so great. Malcolm Gladwell's writing is so easily readable and understandable. I definitely recommend it as well.
