"Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs" by Chuck Klosterman is a good, easy read. It's just a bunch of commentary, nothing educational, but he's pretty funny and insightful.

This is a really, really sweet book.

Also try Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

ya i actually don't know if any of those scientific ones are appealing.

being a 4th year history student that Guns, Germs and Steel one sounds pretty interesting.

an good adventure story like The Motorcycle Diaries also sounds interesting.

any other ideas welcome

[housenuts]

i also like war stories and such.

i've read Dispatches and Jarhead.

The Things They Carried

has anyone read
The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century
by Thomas L. Friedman

If you haven't already read it, I'd say "Positively Fifth Street" by James McManus. Otherwise, Cryptonomicon, which was just ridiculously awesome.

the selfish gene- richard dawkins

a breakdown of evolutionary psychology/ evolution in general- good read.
