Over the Edge of the World by L. Bergreen. I thought I knew about Magellan but I really didn't know a thing. Well written and engaging. I read it as quickly as possible.
Blood Meridian by C. McCarthy. Written in his unique style of prose with themes on violence, redemption and the making of "the West."
The Art of Deception by N. Capaldi. A good introduction into the critical thinking of how people try to prove a point. Just like its subtitle says, how to: win an arugement. defend a case. recognize a fallacy. see through deception. persuade a skeptic. turn defeat into victory. Sounds like some good things to know!
Wired for War. The robotics revolution and conflict in the 21st century. By P. Singer. Having seen some of this in Iraq and knowing people who work "in the business" I find this extremely eye opening.
The Physics of Super Heros 2nd edition by J. Kakalios. After reading this I can't think of a better way to learn physics!
Also various magazines about foreign policy, motorcycles and such.
