Seattle & the Demons of Ambition
by Fred Moody
A funny, rueful, knowing memoir of living and working in Seattle for the past few decades. There are the changes of one's life and the changes of one's place - this book tells of Seattle's ups, downs, and all-arounds better than any other single book of this whole period of time in Seattle.

Ruin of Kasch
by Roberto Calasso
Roberto Calasso is a remarkable publisher and a most extraordinary author. This book is a re-casting of history, leaping from the French Revolution to the Killing Fields of Cambodia and back to fabled African Kingdoms. Where legitimacy came from, how we went from acts of sacrifice to genocides and more...written with verve. Challenging but supremely rewarding reading.
