- Jared Diamond, Guns Germs and Steel (Rebel, Chuck, DrSchnell, Karin)
- Eric Schlosser, Fast Food Nation (Rebel, DrSchnell)
- Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death (Rebel, Karin)
Beyond that, how to procede? I've decided to choose -- that's right, just choose -- at least one title from each voter (except Brea, whose single nomination I've already read. Sorry!). This goes way over the number of non-fiction books I had planned for, but what is the Inform My Reading List! project about, if not overkill?
Here are the other picks, alphabetically by nominator:
- austin: Wade Davis, One River
- chuckdaddy2000: Nathan McCall, Makes Me Want To Holler
- DrSchnell: Pietra Rivoli, The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy
- fingerstothebone: Eric Hansen, Motoring With Mohammed; Philip Ball, Bright Earth
- gl.: Janna Levin, How the Universe Got its Spots; V. S. Ramachandran, Phantoms in the Brain
- Karin: ML Rossi, What Every American Should Know About the Rest of the World; and possibly Peter Singer and Jim Mason, The Way We Eat and Why Our Food Choices Matter and/or Campbell & Campbell, The China Study
- Mrs. 5000: Slavomir Rawicz, The Long Walk
- Rebel: Robert Wright, The Moral Animal
- Rex Parker: Matthew Scully, Dominion; Chester Brown, Louis Riel
- Shanthala: Noam Chomsky, Manufacturing Consent
- Vida: Robert M. Sapolsky, A Primate's Memoir
There. That ought to keep me busy!
