I read multiple books at the same, sadly the only ones i finish are generally fiction or biographies.

Im reading right now,

The Price of Everything
Logistics Clusters
The Abs Diet
Unauthorized Biography of Howard Hughes
Consistency

Over the last year i read or skimmed,

Some basics economics book
Steve jobs biography
Confessions of an economic hitman
Your too nice for your own good
The coming jobs war
And 2-3 other books i cant recall

I think i lost the howard hughes book, i think it goes without saying he lead a pretty interesting life...but the book clues you in on a few things the docs and movies about him didnt show. Specifically his relationship with his mother and father.

Bumping this thread so I can check some of these out. Right now I'm reading Women, Race, and Class by Angela Davis,. Sometimes I mess with Peter Schiff because you gotta know how the rich man thinks.

We can't let the book thread die. No matter what you believe you gotta read. Damn I'm drunk.

Reading "La France Noire" right now, about black presence in France. Also "Tels des astres célestes" by Cameroonian author Leonora Miano, also about three young black people in France and the way they live their "blackness". I think some of her works are translated in English, but don't know the titles. Next up is "The thing around your neck", short stories by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Nigerian author partly living in the US. Saw her a week ago at this writers' festival in Paris, she had interesting points of view.
