Mon Ami Mate (The Bright Brief Lives of Mike Hawthorn & Peter Collins) by Chris Nixon

[DavieVillage]

I am reading Miss Peregrin's School for Peculiar Children.  It's awesome!  It's not the type of book I normally go for, but I am loving it!  I don't want it to end!

[Riley_Gautier]

The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson. I remember reading it in college and loving it!

[ClothesSuck]

The Soulkeepers by G.P. Ching. I got it for free, so I figured I'd read it. It's actually kind of interesting and provides some creative points of view on things even though it is SciFi.

Why Nations Fail

To summarize, the main reason is "extractive institutions" (corruption by scoundrels running the country) and lack of "inclusive institutions."

The ruling oligarchies fear a new entrepreneurial class, so they do everything they can to inhibit innovation. Without creative destruction (a term coined or popularized by the economist Schumpeter describing the replacement of old businesses with new,) a nation's economy is doomed to become less competitive.

Hilary Mantel's  Bring Up the Bodies

I started Fifty Shades of Grey on my Kindle for my computer, but I got about the third chapter and gave it. I didn't think it was that goo.
So I read an Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter novel. Skin Trade, to be exact.

I'm currently reading Extra Innings by Baseball Prospectus. It's a really nerdy book about Baseball and Issues in the game today and what we can learn from analyzing baseball. It reads like a textbook, but I really like it.

[Petrucio28]

That's alright. I have spent a lot of time reading books that were dry and more of a textbook, but I still found them enlightening and to some extent, entertaining.
