If you had to recommend only one book on a particular subject, which one would it be? A recent MetaFilter post along these lines sparked a flurry of responses and some sincere debate. Several readers even complained that they had spent their entire monthly book budget in a single afternoon.

These great texts deserve to be listed in one place, so we’ve started the Reasonable Bookshelf, a collection of the best and most broadly accessible books available on a wide variety of topics. We know we’ll have to leave out many great books, but our goal is to choose one very reasonable book to bring the uninformed layperson up to speed on the given topic.

As always, if you have a suggestion, send us a message or leave a comment below.
