Joan of Arc: Her Story by Régine Pernoud

Can We Do That?! Outrageous PR Stunts That Work–And Why Your Company Needs Them by Peter Shankman (good premise, the guy comes off as a bit of a tool)

The Beauty of the Beasts: Tales of Hollywood’s Wild Animal Stars by Ralph Helfer (continuing my disturbing obsession)

The Voyage Memoirs of Sir Francis Drake by Sir Francis Drake (not as cool as I hoped)

Grand Strategies in War and Peace by Paul Kennedy

The Rise and Fall of Athens: Nine Greek Lives by Plutarch (I liked Demosthenes a lot)

What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception by Scott McClellan (this book is a really good memoir of how culture and DNA ultimately dictate the choices of an organization. always have respect for someone who is able to disavow the past and say ‘i don’t want to be a part of this anymore’)
