Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
By: Malcolm Gladwell
- It came out in 2007, yet haven't had the chance to read it yet. The title lends itself to reading by a college student who would love to 'think' without having to do anything, just being able to utilize our judgement skills.

- A book about "Somali-born member of the Dutch parliament who faced death threats after collaborating on a film about domestic violence against Muslim women with controversial director Theo van Gogh (who was himself assassinated)."
Guns, Germs, and Steel
By: Jared Diamond
- I read this back in 2005 (it came out over a decade ago) and am going to reread this year
The Third Chimpanzee: The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal
By: Jared Diamond
- I never got to reading this pre-GGS book of his and thought that as GGS was a great read I should also try this one
Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution--and How It Can Renew America
By: Thomas L. Friedman
- From the author of The World Is Flat, which I read the year it came out, newly out this one has gotten, from the people I know, very good reviews!
Now this is a short list of just a few books I plan to read this year, although there are many more which I will read throughout the year.
