Book suggestions
I thought I might solicit some book suggestions from fellow EN'ers. I tend to go with non-fiction because a lot of traditional literature puts me to sleep within minutes. However, I've come across some well written fiction that has worked - but now that I think of it, it's usually somewhat comical in nature (think David Sedaris or Nick Hornby). I also tend to like sociology type stuff as well.
Some examples of things I've read recently:
- Power of Habit (Duhigg)
- Pandora's Seed (Wells)
- What Happened (McClellan)
- Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, Theodore Rex, Colonel Roosevelt (Morris)
- Lost city of Z (Grann)
- River of Doubt (Millard)
- Gods Crucible (Lewis)
- The End of Illness (Agus)
- No Ordinary Time (Goodwin)
- Epochs of European Civilization (Hosking)
- Bringing Down the House (Mezrich)
- Justinian's Flea (Rosen)
- Nixon and Mao (MacMillan)
Any suggestions from anyone who likes similar material?

Check out the "What Are You Reading Now" thread. It's been on going for a couple of years and I've gotten a lot of great ideas.

Looks like youre into history, broad sweep of civikization, and adventure stories. Books like that I'd recommend that I've read in the last year are:
The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks,a nd Giants of the Ocean - weaves science of waves with adventures of big wave riders. By Susan Casey
Travels In Siberia - Not a travel guide, but the journal of a modern day adventurer. By Ian Frazier
Wow, I totally missed the sticky thread - thanks!

Screw the book recommendation - tell me more about this brownie business?
Happy to share about the brownies. I will say up front I am not a big fan of sweets so I do not really eat them, however with the amount of repeat business she gets people seem to like them. Her business won NH Magazine best brownies two years in a row. She is now working on a Grover Cleveland in relation to this years voting. Please vote: http://www.bestofnh.com/bh/home/ Her business is Sinful Squares: http://www.sinfulsquares.com/ She has Gluten Free which seems to be fairly popular.
