Einstein is such a fascinating character. Isaacson did a wonderful job of bringing him to life, faults and all. I also have to commend the author on the way he explains complex physics so the reader can grasp the brilliance of Einstein's discoveries. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72563729 The Name of the Rose: Including Postscript (Paperback) by Umberto Eco

As a recovering baptist, I agree with the vast majority of what Dawkins has to say. I also really liked The Blind Watchmaker and his documentaries. However, I do think that he is a little too critical of moderate religion's effect on children. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66505338 A Confederacy of Dunces (Paperback) by John Kennedy Toole

This is a pretty handy guide. It gives a short and to the point description of environmental problems and a range of solutions that individuals can implement. Although it gives some standard suggestions that most of us have heard of (turn the water off when brushing teeth, use CFL's, etc.), I found it helpful. I appreciate that the author acknowledges that most of us have to juggle competing priorities of our financial situations with our concern for health/environment. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55612086 Love in the Time of Cholera (Paperback) by Gabriel García Márquez
