This was a great post! My three books:

1) "A Gentleman in Moscow": This book is about SO MUCH more than simply an admittedly wonderful gentleman in Moscow. It's about friendship, adapting to change, comporting oneself with dignity, platonic love, amorous love, familial love, the perils of absolutism, the value of art and conversation, one-eyed cats and more.

2) "Third Wave": I won't ever finish this one. The examples Tofler gives to support his hypothesis are too outdated to be that useful but the overall concept very much applies today.

3) "Spent: Sex, Evolution and Consumer Behavior": Written by Geoffrey Miller, this one goes deep into how evolutionary drivers impact our behavior in the economic realm. I've not finished it but have read most of it a few times.
