The Anthropocene Reviewed (by John Green)

One of those books I've checked out many times but never managed to read until the moment was right, which apparently was now. This is a series of essays (actually, reviews that give each item a score out of 5 stars) about various things that humanity experiences, from the world's largest ball of paint to man's capacity for wonder.  It's an eclectic and personal collection with so many highlightable moments.  Highly recommend this one.
