42. The Racketeer by John Grisham

What if you planned to escape prison and everything went according to plan and you ended up walking away with millions of dollars.  This good luck escapee is the subject of John Grisham's latest book.  It is a testament to Grisham's good storytelling that you still want to finish this book after it loses all plausibility.  You have a guy who committed a perfect crime and then so easily gets set up.  Too many things had to go right to pull this escape off and if you are able to block that from your mind then it is a good book.

41. Drop Dead Healthy by A.J. Jacobs

This book is very much like A.J.'s other books he starts a project and we get to see the progression and its affect on his family.  In this book he aims to be the healthiest person alive.  Each chapter focuses on a different part of his body and he's efforts to improve.  It was an easy read with insight into what we need to be mindful of in our bodies.  I think it starts with awareness and being conscious on the affect of our decisions today will have on our health in the future.
