Fredric Bastiat - "The Law" - http://www.freeaudio.org/fbastiat/thelaw.html (audio book) http://www.amazon.com/Law-Frederick-Bastiat/dp/1933550147/ (5 stars with 83 reviews so it's not just me) It'll only take about forty minutes to finish.

fluffy but nice short and solid book for better skills at listening and responding in conversation

"Command in War" is also quite good

The first book I checked to make sure was included in this tread was "Supplying War".

I enjoyed the book for his character and as insight into a pass time that I had not really understood.

I highly recommend their "Great Minds" series (though without a library it is a bit spendy)

How We Know What Isn't So: The Fallibility of Human Reason in Everyday Life - Gilovich - a good book on the inability of the human mind to accept things as random.

I found it to be easy to follow, appealing to detail, and satisfying in producing delicious bread.

If you're of age, this is an interesting background in cocktails and their evolution in America.
