* 'Better' by Atul Gawande (also his 'Complications' and of course 'The Checklist Manifesto')
* 'A Short History of Nearly Everything' by Bill Bryson.
Fiction:
* 'Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders' by Neil Gaiman
* 'The Name of the Wind' by Patrick Rothfuss
Graphic novels ("comics"):
* 'Watchmen' by Alan Moore
* 'Promethea' by Alan Moore (actually I'm halfway through this, and loving every bit of it)
Special mentions:
* 'How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big' by Scott Adams - I only gave this a 4-star rating on Goodreads when I finished it, but I'm finding that I'm usefully applying more and more of the things I learnt from this book as the months go by.
* 'Yoga Benefits Are in Breathing Less' by Artour Rakhimov - to be considered more of an article, taught me useful stuff about O2/CO2 balance in the body, their respective effects, and hence ultimately the effects of different rates of breathing.
The Martian was probably the best fiction in the last year for me.

The tallest redwood trees were only discovered ten years ago, by a small group of people who just love trees. It's a pretty fascinating and inspiring story.
