Book recommendations?

Originally published at erin-go-blog!. You can comment here or there.

As a rule, I don’t read a whole lot of nonfiction. What I did read last year was mostly entertainment or education-related. And yet, almost every time I see someone on The Daily Show promoting a book, I think, “hey, that sounds interesting. I might want to read that.”

So I’m looking for your recommendations. What irresistible nonfiction is out there waiting for me?
