Corny and outdated but damn fine writing. Decent noir thriller

Creepy tale of two sisters living in a big old house outside of town. Shirley Jackson is seriously skilled at keeping you on edge .

The coolest book I've ever read. Hands down. Some of the sickest characters committing crimes in a future that is definitely coming true.

Awesome life lessons about killing it at home and work and everywhere until you're one of the most powerful people in the world. I learned a ton.

Beautiful, brutal and enlightening book about the effects of trauma and the new, innovative ways of treating survivors.

Really interesting history of art told by looking at pioneering pieces from cave walls to abstract to video art.

Dark dark dark but so damn good. 2006 post-apocalyptic novel by one of the greatest living writers.

Awesome 2011 Western with lots of violence, gold and the occasional tender moment.

Social Network is about Mark Zuckerberg and the birth of Facebook and Kitchen Confidential is by the late, great chef Anthony Bourdain.

Robert Wright is a journalist who writes about science, history and religion, and George Lois is an art director, designer and author and these are their books.
