2013.Book21 - Blue Like Jazz (Miller)

Mostly terrible. A little good stuff about love.

2013.Book 20 - Sum (Eagleman)

Very cool inventions on afterlives, with the point being to get us to think about our actual lives.

2013.Book19 - The Power of Why (Lang)

Pretty good self-help/business book. Too much "and this secret is why this company succeeded and this company failed" just-so stories, and kind of a lack of awareness of workers' reality. Like, why should I work hard and be creating to increase corporate profits. On the other hand, the call to curiosity as a path to a happier life is pretty accurate.
