My Father’s Paradise by Ariel Sabar (Trish at Love, Laughter, and a Touch of Insanity who called it a “deeply moving story”)

Talking Hands: What Sign Language Reveals About the Human Mind by Margalit Fox (via A Horse and a Carrot who was “just plain captivated from the first page to the last”)

The Empathy Exams by Leslie Jamison (via A Sophisticated Dorkiness)

The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe (via Sarah’s Book Shelves who said this book is “mostly (very funny, incidentally) social commentary on the personalities in these professions and the general public as a whole during that time period.”

Capital by Rana Dasgupta (Via Regular Rumination) – set in Delhi. Plus love that cover.

Lives in Ruins by Marilyn Johnson (via Books Speak Volumes who said it’s a “must-read for anyone who ever harbored a secret desire of becoming an archaeologist when she grew up”. Hello! That’s me!
