Radiolab Suggested Readings (180 books)

So suffering through the demoralizing feeling of absence that comes with having made my way through every episode of Radiolab (now I have to wait for new ones!), I decided to compile a book list of frequent Radiolab contributors to keep the magic alive. Turns out, many of them are just as engaging written as spoken, but lack the enthralling accents. Feel free to add any I've missed! (You can also check out Radiolab's own list of recommendations, sorted by episode, on their blog: http://www.radiolab.org/blogs/radiolab-blogland/2011/may/09/radiolab-reads-virtual-bookshelf/ )
