Set in an alternate future where North America has become one state and Quebecois radicals want to secede, the action happens at a tennis academy and a nearby halfway house in Boston, Massachusetts, this book will expand your mind with a mere attempt to read it. It's brilliant, funny, and sad, but it's also packed with interesting ideas about entertainment, addiction, self-development, being human, the civic ideal, setting and meeting expectations, family, and a whole lot more. It's also got tons of footnotes and plenty of fascinating factual asides about pharmacology, tennis, Alcoholics Anonymous, and much more.

6672f32488 adding Willpower
I believe this book deserves to be on the list because it is a fantastic treatment of an uncovered topic, self control. It presents an interesting angle, with a psychologist and a science-writer teaming up to deliver this excellent treatment.

be0e0f9bb8 Fixed a link to "A Farewell to Alms"
The previous link was to "A Farewell to **Arms**" by Ernest Hemingway. Replaced it with a link to "A Farewell to **Alms**" by Gregory Clark, which is actually about economics.
