Another list-of-media-that-I've-consumed-in-time-period-X post.

Greetings from Afghanistan, Send More Ammo: Dispatches from Taliban Country by Benjamin Tupper
Columbine by Dave Cullen
Superfreakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
Sane Asylum by Charles Hampden-Turner
Music: I-LXXIV by August Kleinzahler

Best fiction was The Windup Girl and Blood's a Rover, and Year's Best SF 14 was a surprisingly good short story collection. Best non-fiction was Columbine and Sane Asylum (a mid-1970's examination of the Delancey Street Foundation), and despite what is said about writing about music, Music: I-LXXIV was really good.
