Neuromancer – William Gibson
As an avid Sci-Fi reader, one of my personal favorite sub-genres is Cyberpunk – and this book started it all. The dystopian concept explored by William Gibson – neon-lit night life, transhumanism, punk anti-heroes, societal decay driven by mega-corporations, sentient AI, cyberware, etc. seem like just a step away from our current reality. It personifies the “High-tech Low-Life” world and is a must read in my books.

GOOD DOG – David DiBenedetto
Yes, this anthology of one-of-a-kind essays from the editors of Garden & Gun, speaks volumes about the popularly declared best friend of a man – the canine! One thing about these essays is that none trump the other – each a poignant reflection of personal encounters with pet dogs, neighbor’s dogs and just dogs existing in the world. I pick up this book every now and then, sometimes reading the stories multiple times, never in a particular order.

The Silver Linings Playbook – Matthew Quick
This is a heartfelt book that became a feel-good movie in 2012. There are some genuinely hysterical moments, but mostly this is a medium dark read. Quick delves deeply into the way Pat’s mind works. At times it’s uncomfortably specific in its detail. Truthfully, that’s what makes this an excellent book. The characterization of Pat’s thoughts and emotions is exceedingly real.
