• An Immense World — Ed Yong

  I love this book — such wonders, yet unknown.

• I Contain Multitudes — Ed Yong

  Yong's first book on microbes. Made me stop thinking of myself as singular.

• White Nights — Fyodor Dostoevsky

  Remained inside my head for days.

• The Telomere Effect — Elizabeth Blackburn & Elissa Epel

  How daily life reaches down to your cells. Quiet, unsensational science writing.

• Indian Diplomacy in Nepal — M.D. Dharamdasani

  A close-up of the long, complicated friendship between two neighbors. Less about events than how they were handled.

• Breath — James Nestor

  Made me notice my own breathing for weeks after. Some claims wobble; the noticing doesn't.

• Meditations — Marcus Aurelius

  A book never meant to be finished.
