Reading The Meaning of Science by Tim Lewens right now. It's an introductory "Philosophy of Science" book, and I'm enjoying it so far. Up to where I'm at now, the author has covered Karl Popper and his falsification oriented framework, and Thomas Kuhn and the "scientific revolution / paradigm shift" model. A couple of other ones from this year that stand out to me: Disrupted by Dan "Fake Steve Jobs" Lyons It's Not The Big That Eat The Small, It's The Fast That Eat The Slow by Jason Jennings In terms of fiction, this years haul includes: The Bazaar of Bad Dreams by Stephen King The Last Mile by David Baldacci
