Books mentioned on This American Life

I'm about halfway through The Mummy at the Dining Room Table, a book I first heard about on TAL (episode 263) and I'm really enjoying it. I thought it sounded a lot like The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat, only from the point of view of a therapist, not a neurologist, and so far it's living up to my expectations. I thought I'd use this thread to make a note of other books that have been mentioned on TAL so that I'll have them all in one place.

Don't they have some sort of feed we could grep off of?

You and your crazy new-fangled automation . . .

I didn't see any book-specific feed, but I did find this: http://feeds.thisamericanlife.org/TALUpdates
