• deBuys, William - Last Unicorn: A Search for One of Earth's Rarest Creatures

• Joyce, Dru, II; forward by LeBron James - Beyond Championships
• Kang, Maria - The No More Excuses Diet
• Larson, Erik - Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania

• Morton, Andrew - 17 Carnations: The Royals, the Nazis and the Biggest Cover-Up in History

• Paddock, Bonner - First Second(s): Kilimanjaro, Ironman, and the Moments That Make a Life Beyond Limits
• Putnam, Robert - Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis (Putnam is, of course, the author of the often-cited social science title Bowling Alone, about the loss of community involvement, so this might be an important read.)

THURSDAY NONFICTION

• Parker, Matthew - Goldeneye: Where Bond Was Born: Ian Fleming's Jamaica
