Reddit reviews Richard Brautigan's Trout Fishing in America, The Pill Versus the Springhill Mine Disaster, and In Watermelon Sugar

I'm gonna forego all the other threads about good books and best books because, on reddit, the list always seems to be the same. Not knocking it, as I've contributed to it, and because I agree with most of the choices I find each time. But I'm going to list a few books I read in the past ten years of so that don't fit the reddit norm, and because they struck a chord with me.

1. Trout Fishing in America -- Richard Brautigan.
   
   A great drunk writer.
   
   
2. At Home with Jamie -- Jamie Oliver.
   
   I've been working to cook from scratch, and this book has helped me understand the beauty and satisfaction to be had in working all day to create one meal.
   
   
3. Understanding by Design -- Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe
   
   As a teacher, this has been instrumental to my work. Learning how we learn and learning how to teach others to learn is succinctly broken down into necessary parts.
   
   
4. World War Z -- Max Brooks
   
   By far the best book I've read in ten years.
   
   
5. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time -- Mark Haddon
   
   Just plain, good storytelling, and with a narrator who'll question your capacity to understand other narrators.

I'm interested in the Aristotle book if you still have it.

I have Brautigan and Sedaris' Me Talk Pretty One Day for trade.
