Oil on the Brain: What a great book. It reminded me of two other books I loved (The Travels of a T-Shirt and How Soccer Explains the World), in that it takes a seemingly mundane topic, but wraps it in amazing prose and as a bonus some pretty good "travel" writing. I loved just about every chapter of Oil on the Brain, but I especially dug the chapters on Refineries, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, Distribution, and Venezuela. I can't wait to read this book again.
