Health Care Reform (a graphic novel): "What It Is, Why It's Necessary, How It Works" I just saw the author, who helped both Mitt Romney (when he was governor) and Barack Obama design their approaches to healthcare reform, give an enlightening talk on this fun, useful treatment of a complex and important topic. A must read at $12.

“Daddy, I know that you had to kill Pluto, but will you promise me one thing?” “Of course,” I said. “You have to go find another planet, and when you do, you have to name it Pluto for me, OK?” So my search of the skies continues.

Inside Apple: "How America's Most Admired--and Secretive--Company Really Works". While I really enjoyed Isaacson's Jobs biography, I thought it was thin on details of operations at present day Apple. Hopefully Lashinsky's forthcoming book will live up to its promise and shed some light. $17 preorder.

"The Cult of Lego": Weighing in at over 300 pages, this interesting tome looks at the Lego community and its creations, from a tiny Yankee stadium to a remote-controlled Jawa Sandcrawler, all lovingly photographed and presented in high-quality, full-color images. It's the next best thing to buying yourself a 1,000+ piece model.

BBC's Planet Earth series might as well have been the reason that Bluray and HDTV were invented. $57 at Amazon, and worth every penny.

Geoff Dudgeon Historical graphic novels are a pretty helpful medium for breaking down complex, parallel plotlines and adding inline comments. I found that the graphic novel edition of the 9/11 Commission Report (http://amzn.to/m8ejbC) was a really helpful companion to the actual report when I was writing on the topic for grad school; sort of like an illustrated table of contents.
