Quicksilver Baroque Cycle 01 by Neal Stephenson
	rosemariewatkins, January 01, 2013 I didn't read this book until this year, 2012. I'm sorry I waited so long. The beginnings of science and the personalities involved have always interested me, and Neal Stephensons's fictitious (but fact filled!) account is addictive reading.

Devil in the Grove Thurgood Marshall the Groveland Boys & the Dawn of a New America by Gilbert King
	rosemariewatkins, August 06, 2012 This is nonfiction at its best. Gilbert King brings life a shameful episode in our nation's past that I was only vaguely aware of.

Shop Class as Soulcraft An Inquiry Into the Value of Work by Matthew B Crawford
	rosemariewatkins, January 02, 2011 A different point of view regarding manual labor. Who is the real "Einstein," the bookworm or the grease monkey? Author Matthew B. Crawford has the creds in both areas and finds being a mechanic more intellectually challenging/sastisfying. Simply excellent.
