No Really, This Is Ridiculous

Remember how I asked if any of you had experience with Amazon Prime recently?

I may have a bit of a problem. An addiction of sorts, if you will. 

(Cue the classic Will & Grace episode in my head: Karen: "Well, I'm no expert, but I think you have a little addiction problem. Now, listen to me. [gets out a pill] The first thing you have to do is admit that you have a problem. [swirls the pill in her martini] Because if you can't even recognize the signs . . . [drops the wet pill into her mouth] then you are really in sorry shape. [washes down the pill] Oh, mmm! [To the martini glass] Why are you so good to me?"

I am currently surrounded by these recently purchased books on my bed:

The Big Leap
Good to Great
The Highly Sensitive Person
A New Earth
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Women of the Old Testament
In Defense of Food
The Omnivore's Dilemma 
Made to Stick



Yeah, I'm a nerd. But now that I think about it, it's not really an addiction I'm worried about anytime soon. What are you reading? What should I add to my stack here?

I'll have to check out all those recommendations--thanks!

I can add two more to the recently purchased list (yep, two more books came today):

Mind Programming: From Persuasion and Brainwashing to Self-Help and Practical Metaphysics (looks like a fascinating book on Marketing/Advertising)

How Customers Think: Essential Insights into the Mind of the Market

Amazon Prime, how I love you.
