maribouThe Cartoon History of the Modern World, Part I, by Larry Gonick
I have loved Larry Gonick's way of taking vastly complicated things and explaining them in a simple way since I read his Cartoon Guide to Statistics back in the early 90s. I'm glad he's still doing this stuff. (And just so you know, the "Modern World" discussed so far goes from about Columbus to about 1812....)

The Maytrees, by Annie Dillard
A Taoist novel, a poet's novel, rich and dense and small and life-spanning. It made me miss the taste of waves.
