Recommended books Dr. Denenberg's picks of non-medical books.
 Endurance describes Ernest Shackleton's attempt in 1914 to be the first explorer to cross Antarctica on foot. His ship, as the book's cover photo intimates, got stuck in the ice. Shackleton and his crew had to be skilled, smart, brave, focused, lucky, and physically tough to survive the two years it took them to return to civilization. You've never read anything like this. It makes a trip to the summit of Everest sound like a good idea. The book's cover photo was taken by the expedition's photographer. Click here or on the book to see it at Amazon.com. 
If you've ever been on a cruise ship, or if you've ever thought about it, or if you've ever been to a carnival or a state fair, you'll appreciate David Foster Wallace's unique take on these and other events. His perspective is askew and dead center at the same time. He's a remarkable author you need to know about. Click here or on the book to see it at Amazon.com.
A thought-provoking, mind-crunching science fiction novel. Card is superb, and Ender's Game is a great place to start. Click here or on the book to see it at Amazon.com.
Peter Abrahams writes thrillers, and Hard Rain will keep you from sleeping for a long, long time. It's not in print now, for reasons I can't understand, but you'll be able to find it somewhere. Abrahams will become one of your new favorite authors. Click here to see it at Amazon.com. |
