Cadillac Desert by Marc Reisner. It's about the history of water rights and policy in the American west. Probably still a good read even though it won't be completely up to date.

You guys had more interesting majors and/or advanced degrees than I. I think most of the books I read would be good cures for insomnia.

It wasn't assigned for one of my classes but when I visited a friend at her school, she was reading The Secret History for a class. I picked it up and couldn't put it down.

I am looking for non-fiction recommendations too, but want to know which required reading in college and grad school you enjoyed most, struck a nerve for better or worse, made a big impression or changed the way you look at a subject?

I'll start.

Never too Thin
The Authoritarian Personality
The Bell Curve
A Bright Shining Lie
