Must-read summer reading

I always look forward to spending some quality reading time during the summer and am looking for recommendations. Please recommend your favorite educational book and "just for fun" reads for teachers.

I just finished Made to Stick. It is a very good book about making your ideas stick - whether it is a lesson your are teaching or a product you want to sell. Like others, I happen to be reading Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson. I have just finished The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson which I found pretty funny in a nostalgic sort of way - even though the author's a bit older than I am.

Hands down, Brian Rules by John Medina. Medina is a molecular biologist who shares his lifelong interest in the brain and research that confirms how it works. I know it will change the way things work in my classroom this fall.
