The best book I read in 2009 was The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins. It's surprisingly accessible

I enjoyed The Undercover Economist. I especially recommend it if you liked Freakonomics.

It was a great book, Pinker's writing is accessible and entertaining.

I'm still reading "What the Dormouse Said: How 60s Counterculture Shaped the Personal Computer", but I'm finding it quite good.

If you are patient with what is sometimes (in my humble opinion) pointlessly arguing semantics, some of the sections are interesting.

+1 for Rust in Action, great book.

I'll add Distributed Services with Go as well

I really enjoyed this one, it was the story of the first team to cross the English channel with human-powered flight.

You might like The Shipping Man by Matthew McCleery.

I liked this one better than Gladwell's other books.
