Prince of Thieves by Chuck Hogan (2004)

 This is a great novel about a working class Irish gang of bank robbers in Charles Town, Massachusetts. This is about a lot of things- a heist story, gentrification, a love story etc.  Read it!

Journalist James Nestor writes a great book about all aspects of breathing, from the science of it to yoga.  This is great.

The Brothers K by David James Duncan (1992)

 This is a novel that focuses on a family in Washington State from the 1950's to 1980.  The father, Papa Toe, was a minor league baseball player and coach.  The book is about baseball but also about so much more.  This is one of the best novels I've read.  It should be read slowly and savored.
