Several years ago I remember telling someone that the Carpenters had a few great songs, if you could just get past the clunkers. Fast forward to a week ago when I heard Leon Russell covering a song by The Carpenters called "Song For You". It sounded great! Come to find out, he wasn't covering it, he wrote it. After further research, I figured out that Russell had written all of my favorite Carpenter's songs. I guess all along I really was digging him.

Social Software in Libraries: Building Collaboration, Communication, and Community Online
This is basically my new work manual since I deal with blogs, rss feeds, wikis and such stuff at work. Meredith Farkas is dangerously close to replacing Amy Sedaris and Sarah Vowell as my latest nerd crush. If only this was available as an audiobook.
Discover Your Inner Economist: Use Incentives to Fall in Love, Survive Your Next Meeting, and Motiva
A leisurely stroll through pop economics. It reminded me of a professor whose class I took because I heard it was easy, and whose lectures resembled late night public radio monologues that only tangentially referred to the material I was supposed to be learning.
Terry Pratchett turns Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg loose on an unsuspecting theatre troupe in this send up of The Phantom of the Opera.
