As the title states, what are some of y'all reading that's putting you guys up on game on the economy, investments, pure knowledge as to how thingswork... other suggestions are definitely appreciated even books such as Creature from Jekyll Island.. something somewhat educational. Thanks in advance!Haven't seen one of these in awhile ..

Just read The Kite Runner. I thought it was a great book and would recommend it for sure. Very touching story.
It's not gonna get you up on the game, just make you realize some things about life in general.

So far, so good. Great character development and detail (typical Chabon, although "typical" is probably the wrong word considering thisbook is his first). Parts of it reminded me of Bret Easton Ellis' "Rules of Attraction".

Yeah me too like the Lost Symbol. I suggest the Pursuit of Honor.

 

[where are you harold miner 2]

Under The Banner of Heaven - John Krakeur - Story about Mormon polygamy and the mormon religion in general. Could not put this book down when I started readingit

 

[boys noize]

Dan Brown books are fun reads. Currently reading The Lost Symbol

If you want something a bit out there but also very enjoyable, check out Haruki Murakami. I recommend Norwegian Wood and Kafka by the Shore.

Malcolm Gladwell books are also very interesting. His books always make me look at common everyday things a bit differently (temporarily though

)

Freakonomics is a fun, interesting book for those that are taking economics.

My favorite guilty pleasure (pause). Last things I've read recently that I liked were...

If Not, Winter (a collection of Sappho's fragments)
Audrey Niffenegger - The Time Traveler's Wife
Joan Didion - A Book of Common Prayer

Currently working on Mitch Albom - Have A Little Faith. Thank God for only having one upper division class this semester.
