A Journey by Tony Blair
Tony Blair is a politician who defines our times. His emergence as Labour Party leader in 1994 marked a seismic shift in British politics. Within a few short years, he had transformed his party and rallied the country behind him, becoming prime minister in 1997 with the biggest victory in Labour’s history, and bringing to an end eighteen years of Conservative government. He took Labour to a historic three terms in office as Britain’s dominant political figure of the last two decades.

The Tiger by John Vaillant
It’s December 1997, and a man-eating tiger is on the prowl outside a remote village in Russia’s Far East. The tiger isn’t just killing people, it’s annihilating them, and a team of men and their dogs must hunt it on foot through the forest in the brutal cold. As the trackers sift through the gruesome remains of the victims, they discover that these attacks aren’t random: the tiger is apparently engaged in a vendetta. Injured, starving, and extremely dangerous, the tiger must be found before it strikes again.

But my summer reading list is made up of strong recommendations from friends and colleagues right here in the Knopf offices.

Oooh, Shiny!: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, Stieg Larsson’s Final Gift-Wrapped Package
Even the most devoted Stieg Larsson fan might be getting a bit of Millennium-overload. Steig Larsson’s little-trilogy-that-could is now a worldwide phenomenon; you can measure its impact by the number of people reading any of the three books on the beach, in the trains, and with their e-book devices. It feels like it’s everywhere—in the publishing press, in the national news, and in every reader’s hands. How much Larsson-talk can one girl take?

A team of Allied scientists is charged with agreeing on an accurate forecast five days in advance. But is it even possible to predict the weather so far ahead? And what is the relationship between predictability and turbulence, one of the last great mysteries of modern physics?

The Transformation of Stieg Larsson’s The Girl Who Played with Fire jacket
At the heart of Larsson’s second book is one major mystery: who is Lisbeth Salander? Larsson sheds the image of Salander as merely a bisexual computer hacker, and starts to reveal the details that make up the “girl” who dominates our imaginations, as she shifts from a sidekick role to that of the lead protagonist. At the end of the first volume, Salander disappears to parts unknown; in the opening pages of the second volume, we come face to face with her, now blond and with a transformed body, but still acutely herself. We watch as she transforms further into an avenger. That transformation is the inspiration behind the jacket design for The Girl Who Played with Fire.

Tim Wu Explains What Net Neutrality Is, and Why You Should Care
The Internet cares, Washington cares, big business cares—but what, exactly, does “net neutrality” mean?
