Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives, by David Eaglemanman
A lot of our crew are really into this book which is a collection of short stories about life and death and afterlife. Very clever and well written (not to mention entertaining), this is definitely a good sit-down-and-breeze-through-some-stories book.
Here are some reviews: NYTimes and The Guardian

What the Dog Saw, Malcolm Gladwell
Gladwell's follow-up to Outliers will make you look smarter at a party, guaranteed. He briefly summarizes all of the smartest, most interesting books of the past couple years, interviews the authors and relevant people, and boils down the key points in about 20 pages per essay. Very interesting, very thought provoking, very cool.

This Is Where I Leave You, Jonathan Tropper
Very clever, smart, witty adult humor (with a liberal peppering of four letter words). Most of us have known people like these in this dysfunctional, somehow likeable, bunch of characters. A fun, often touching story! Featured on NPR and NY Times Book Review
