How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb

by U2
I love their music but, more importantly, Bono's social conscious!

Skinny Dip

by Carl Hiaasen
Any of Carl Hiaasen's books are sure to make you laugh... which is always a good thing!

Gift From the Sea

by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
A comforting and unique way to look at life's passages.

The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe

by Jane Wagner
This book was also performed live on stage in New York and other cities. I especially love her description of what happens when people experience art... read it to find out what!

In My Life

by the Beatles
This is beautiful music as well as meaningful lyrics.... Can't beat the four lads from Britain! You'll find the song, "In My Life," on their Rubber Soul album.
