    Great list, thanks, Roger! Need some time to think of my list but Oliver Sacks certainly figures on it. Also Richard Feynman. The Gene by Siddhartha Mukherjee, Sapiens, anything by Italo Calvino, Pablo Neruda, A Natural History of the Senses (Ackerman), History of Love (Kraus), Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee and the list goes on! Great question and I look forward to others’ lists!
