The Burning House
It's amazing how a simple question — "If your house was burning, what would you take with you?" — can reveal so much about a person. Based on the blog of the same name, The Burning House ($11) is a study in materialism as seen through the items held most dear, told in brief interviews and photos — some of which have appeared on the website, and some unique tales. Revealing, slightly morbid, and utterly captivating, it's prime coffee table reading.
