Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Todd Gilbert
Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
Loved it. Compelling psychology presented in easy to read fashion.
Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Betrayal
Mediocre. Takes way too many liberties with teh chracter. Give it a miss
Corelli's Mandolin: A Novel
Love it until the last 20 pages. What was he thinking with that ending. Poetic, gripping, fun.
 - Terry Pratchett)
The Pillars of the Earth
Loved it! Epic story telling. Wonderful characters and situation. The sweeping historical features fascinate me. Do not be daunted by the thickness, it will pull you in.
The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
Reading this book made me angrier and angrier. Although Klien ties all things evil into unbridled capitalism--really it is greed--this book documents such brutal upheavals from Chile to Iraq, New Orleans to Thailand always examining them into the context of McGill Torture experiments and Chicago School Economics. Worth a read.
The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich (Expanded and Updated)
Fun read as the author illustrates how to get out of the rat race. Not sure I liked the deceptiveness he suggests as strategies, but enjoy the stories.
 - Timothy Ferriss)
Predictably Irrational, Revised and Expanded Edition: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions
Fascinating read on decision making. Yeah, sure we are logical, methodical...
Red Rabbit (Tom Clancy)
a prequal that disappoints with repetative writing and questionable choice of Jack Ryan's involvement.
The Lost Symbol
Typical Dan Brown fun--symbols instead of art. Bugs me the role of the CIA plays in this, but still a good jaunt, especially if you have spent any time in DC.
Inside the Red Mansion: On the Trail of China's Most Wanted Man
With a cast of characters to populate a Tom Robbins novel, sex, crime, greed and a global chase, hard to believe this is non-fiction.
