Read any good non-fiction lately?
I read "Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers" by Robert Sapolsky. It was actually a text book in a bio class. It talks about the stresss response and how it effects various areas of life and health
I'm trying to read "Oberammergau" about the passion play in, you guessed it, Oberammergau. It's really interesting.
I'm also trying to start "The Secular Bible" by Jacques Berlinerblau. He was one of my professors and I just loved him and was fascinated by his research.

A bit voyeuristic...but Savage Beauty, a bio on Edna St Vincent Millay, was really great.
I also have a bio on Frederick Ashton I pick up from time to time, but never finished it.

I just finished The Tipping Point, a really good book about how little things can set off an epidemic. Highly informative and he uses great examples, such as Blue's Clues and teenage smoking.

I loved Don't Let's Go To The Dogs Tonight by Alexandra Fuller. It's a memoir about her childhood in Africa and it was fabulous.

I guess I should have been more clear, he doesn't link them.
He talks in one chapter about how Blue's built on the Sesame Street model to make an even better show and more addicting show for children. In another chapter, he talks about the roots of the teenage smoking epidemic and how it can be stopped.
