I will cast my votes for "Inner Fish" All three.
"Predictably Irrational" reminds me too much of "Freakonomics" (which I am listening to now).
"Inner Ape" I have seen before and thought to pick up...but we already read Diamond's "Third Chimpanzee", again this rreminds me of that book.
"Cult of Pharma" looked interesting, but after reading the description, not what I would consider at this point. (I read a similar book a while ago called "Selling Sickness" that was similar to this one).
"In Cold Blood" - Why?
So there it is. New Totals:
Inner Ape - 5
Inner Fish - 9
Cult of Pharma - 1
Predictably Irrational - 5
In Cold Blood - 1

1 vote for each of these books:
The Cult of Pharmacology
Predictably Irrational
Our Inner Ape
I suggested the first two, which I will read anyway for my real-life book group. Our Inner Ape also seemed interesting and discussion-worthy.
The other two books seemed less appealing. In Cold Blood doesn't interest me at all, and I'm afraid a book about evolution won't give us anything to talk about.
