• Lifeline Rule by Doug Nufer (the rule: parity to vowel; an awesome conovowel opus)

• Inventing the Future by Albert Cory (a novel way to explain how advances in software require lots of time and lots of complementary skills)

• Stravinsky in Pictures and Documents by Vera Stravinsky and Robert Craft (proving again the great value of access to original sources and ephemera)

• Life A Users Manual by Georges Perec (perhaps the greatest 20th century novel) (see Willy Wauquaire's superb webpages about it)

• Gaudy Night by Dorothy L Sayers (captures Oxford high-table small-talk wonderfully)

• An Instance of the Fingerpost by Iain Pears (also Oxford but in the 1660s)

• Death of a Salesperson by Robert Barnard (who is at his best in short stories like these)

• The Haj by Leon Uris (great to read on a trip to Israel)

• Marjorie Morningstar by Herman Wouk (in-depth characters plus a whole philosophy)

• On Food and Cooking by Harold McGee (applied biochemistry in the kitchen)

• Food by Waverley Root (his magnum opus, a wonderful history of everything delicious)

• The Golden Gate by Vikram Seth (the Great California Novel, entirely in 14-line sonnets)

• The Age of Faith by Will Durant (volume 4 of his series, covers the years 325--1300)

• Efronia by Stina Katchadourian (diaries and letters of a remarkable Armenian woman)

• The Man Who Knew Infinity by Robert Kanigel (biographies of Ramanujan and Hardy)

• Hackers by Steven Levy (incredibly well written tale of our times)

• The Abominable Man by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö (one of their brilliantly Swedish detective novels)

• Blasphemy by Douglas Preston (the best novel to deal with "science versus religion" that I've ever encountered)

• Blacklist by Sara Paretsky (a brilliant characterization of the tragic state of politics and class relations in America that also happens to be an action-packed murder mystery)

• The Travels of Ibn Battutah edited by Tim Mackintosh-Smith (fascinating and eye-opening journal by a 14th-century Muslim scholar)

• Murder in the Museum of Man by Alfred Alcorn (delicious caricature of academic follies)

• America (The Book): Teacher's Edition “A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction” by Jon Stewart et al (has graffiti even better than the marginal notes in Concrete Mathematics)

• Feynman by Jim Ottaviani and Leland Myrick (vivid, witty, hilarious, poignant: I laughed, I cried, I learned; demonstrates the unreasonable effectiveness of a graphic novel)

• Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder (about how Paul Farmer's local and global life combined theory and practice)

• A Dual Autobiography by Will and Ariel Durant (superbly written, a great story about how a man and woman can work creatively and sustainably together despite the mysteries of the human sex drive)

• The Hornet's Nest by Jimmy Carter (a revolutionary novel about the Revolutionary War at all levels)
