    For any of you who have a daughter, of any age.

    Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters is a must have to read throughout your daughters growth. I plan on re-reading this book annually.

    I have it, but haven't cracked it open yet. I've heard good things about it (why I bought it).

    Greatest Show on Earth - by Richard Dawkins

    Most fascinating thing I've ever read.

    Love that one. Dawkins has a great energy to what he writes about. You can tell he is passionate about his subjects. I get almost a Sagan vibe with his later books.

    I find myself more and more fascinated with science the more I read some of the recent books to keep my attention are:
    Sleights of Mind by Stephen macknik and Susana martinez-conde
    The believing brain by Michael Shermer
    why we believe in God(s) by j. Anderson Thomson
    Quantum Gods by Victor Stenger
    Paranormality by Richard Wiseman
    Death from the skies by Phil Plait
    adventures in paranormal investigation by Joe nickel
    The mask of Nostradamus by James Randi
    Evolution : what the fossils say and why it matters by Donald Prothero

    I like that list of 75, but I can't believe only 1 other person has mentioned ZEN AND THE ART OF MOTORCYCLE MAINTENANCE. It has wonderful insight into the transactional workings of people. For example, Some people believe the only way to get a good quality service is to perform the service yourself, like painting your house. Others believe that the only true way to get the house painted properly is to pay a professional to do it...even if they have no idea the quality of work the professional does.
