I went back to the threads about "Which books are recommended most often on MeFi", and added some titles for your perusal.

Enjoy!

I'm currently reading The Man Who Loved Only Numbers: The Story of Paul Erdös and the Search for Mathematical Truth. Pretty interesting so far.

For me, I'd say Last Days of Summer by Steve Kluger is it. Awesome book about the relationship between a precocious kid and his baseball star idol, written in an epistolary style.

God, I know. It was so pompous and pretentious, unlike the vibe she created in Time Traveler's Wife. Huge disappointment.

I just let go of "20000 Leagues Under The Sea". I loved "Around the World In 80 Days", but the chapter upon chapter of describing the landscape caused me to lose interest.
