I read Girl Meets God two years ago, per your suggestion. [When we were living together, do you remember?] I adore that book.
There are others on your list that I read in school and some I have never heard of. I will have to investigate those!
How is The Outliers? I've read a few articles by Malcolm Gladwell and have heard about the book. I might have to pick it up when I'm on the road.
KT: please do investigate!! for a married person "sacred marriage" would be a great, great read. I read it when I lived in Colorado. The premise is that marrying someone is the ultimate unselfish act. It's good stuff.
MBA: The Outliers is pretty fantastic. I love anthropology and history and it's interesting to read about various people groups and why they are where they are. I particularly liked the chapter on Jewish lawyers in Manhattan. Do pick it up when you get a chance.
Matt, i think I just assumed you're the Matt that's related to me but word on the street is that you're not. So, sorry for the initials that aren't yours. Harris, is it? :)
Yep, this is Matt Harris. Sorry for the confusion. :)
