Mega Memory

I'm currently memorizing a list of 1300 7-letter words IN ORDER. That would require a mega-memory, so I'm borrowing Kevin Trudeau's. I wonder if this is one of those books that you will want to reread again and again.

The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference

My mother wanted me to recommend a book about social trends, like how everyone suddenly was anti-smoking or how everyone suddenly was "green". This is what I came up with and in the midst of talking her into it, I talked myself into listening to it. And now I'm wondering when and how Mike Waugh Brand stuff will become the next Hush Puppies.

Triathlon 101: Essentials for Multisport Success

This woman on the cover is seriously intent on running through whatever obstacle blocks her path, whether it be water, road or molten lava. But seriously, this book is good for everyone, from experienced Ironman triathletes to people who just dabble in a little bit of triathleticism.

Hardcore Zen: Punk Rock, Monster Movies, & the Truth about Reality

Lots of references to human excrement and punk. A beautiful exposition of the Great Heart of Wisdom Sutra. I highly recommend it.

An Introduction to Zen Buddhism

Zen is something I've always wanted to learn more about. Halfway through reading this book, I may know less than I did before. Perhaps by time I am finished with the book I will know nothing about Zen. At which point I will highly recommend it.
