The Control of Nature by John McPhee
5.0
Should be required reading for everyone; should HAVE been required reading for FEMA. This book makes it pretty clear that both Katrina and the recent California wildfires were literally disasters waiting to happen. Great context for current events.

Too much whifty woo woo nonsense, not enough practicality.

Mind-expanding! Great postmodernist stuff. I plan on re-reading this very soon..there's tons more that can be teased out.
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
3.0
Cute, nothing incredibly special. You can tell, though, that the author did her research--the settings and minor characters feel really realistic.
