Mark is recommending The President's Book of Secrets, by David Priess.

"A deep look at the evolution of the President's Daily Brief by the CIA, and how different Presidents consumed intelligence. Extremely prescient today as we have a President who, as reported, doesn't read briefings unless his name is featured heavily. Priess takes a historical look at how intelligence shaped history, and how the transition from different administrations caused problems for the CIA."

Eric is recommending The Soul of an Octopus.

"An animal as amazing and engaging as the octopus deserves a book equally as compelling. This book delivers. It almost reads as a love story, between the author and these animals. A beautiful love story. The octopus tops my favorite animal list just like this book tops my highly recommended book list. Also it's a nice reprieve from the human world we all now inhabit. I absolutely enjoyed reading this book."
