I like to carve out time for a big, meaty read in the summer. This year, it's Rasputin: Faith, Power, and the Twilight of the Romanovs (Douglas Smith). Kathleen bought be the hardback, and it's a whopper at 850 pages. I've always had a morbid fascination with the "mad monk," and I think this book may well set some of my misconceptions straight.
I'm also looking forward to reading How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain (Lisa Barret). I'm a big fan of books that venture into evolutionary cognitive psychology.
Two standouts from last summer were: Roadside Picnic (Arkady and Boris Strugatsky) and Porius (John Cowper Powys), so if anyone has recommendations that line up somewhere between those two, I'd love to hear them.
