What books are you reading?
Looked for a thread on this, found nada...could we merge it if one already exists, admin?
I'm reading this:

The Globalization Paradox, by Dani Rodrik
Very interesting.

I've just finished reading the last Game of Thrones book.
The five books were a marathon!

Once you've read the dictionary, every other book is just a remix.

Re: What books are you reading?
Well, this thread hasn't seen a lot of action so far. I was searching for a "what are you reading thread? " because I've just finished reading "The Power of the Dog" and "The Cartel" by Dan Winslow and I very much enjoyed them both - drug wars in Mexico.
It's fiction, but when you check out news on the Mexican drug cartels IRL, there are a lot characters who resemble the Mexican cartel bosses and members. The books are violent, but the truth is brutal too. Violence, torture and beheadings feature largely in both books - some fiction, mixed with a lot of reality.
I had some time to kill, so needed some books that take you away on a long trip. Recommend.

That and awaiting the next Houellebecq, which everybody in the game is nervous about in France, because of his wit and his spot-on social analysis, every single book.
It's due for January 2, so, soon.
