1. the autobiographical "narrative of the life of frederick douglass, an american slave"; and

2. shankar vedantam's "the hidden brain."

i've been thinking about getting this based on vedantam's frequent NPR appearances, but have held off. here is a bias of mine -- tending to judge without reading that a book on a scientific topic by a journalist is likely to be superficial.

no totally different. that one is by vilayanur ramachandran on the brain itself and how damage to its various parts creates bizarre behavioral phenomena. this one is a book on psychology, about biases that human beings carry in various walks of life without realizing it and its various manifestations.
