I was keen on #2, but then I realized it was written a decade ago (before 9/11!). And I thought the conclusions/observations would be too dated. So I said no to that one.

#3 sounds cool, but is not available on the kindle, so it was disqualified.

#4 doesn't have great ratings, and self-deprecating/sardonic humor tends to get old for me after a while. So I said no to that one as well.

Which left me with #1. Also not amazing reviews, but Archimedes sounds like a badass, so thar is my vote. Also, per Baird's update, it looks like she voted for #4. So votes now stand at 3-3.
