I highly recommend 'The Big Short', but then again I know close to nothing about economics. The author is legit though.
Very cool book. This is the only K. Dick book besides 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' that's really hooked me.

I originally intended to read TBS, but I'm kind of sick of these business books as I've read so many lately. The NK one seems pretty interesting:

1/3 of this book was amazing, 2/3 of it was crap. Maybe most people have different tastes from me, but as thrillers go, most of it was just not thrilling.

About half and half, so better than the first.

When I read about the Zones of Thought on wiki, it sounded retarded. But I liked Deepness in the Sky so I gave it a try. It was amazing. Only for people who aren't scared off by sci fi though.
Current:

Really cool, but it's not really a light read. It's like reading a (very interesting) textbook.
Next: probably something from the Culture series.

I read the Great Expectations a while ago, and it was horribly boring. I just don't think I can handle Dickens (I've read a total of two).

Have you read any other Chesterton so far or is Orthodoxy your first incursion?

Currently reading The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Next I hope to read Crime and Punishment by the same author.

Rereading The First Law Trilogy, by Joe Abercrombie. (The Blade Itself, Before They Are Hanged, and Last Argument of Kings.) Awesome trilogy, I really love the characters and the action scenes are just done so well.
Also finally reading the Lies of Locke Lamora, by Scott Lynch. Seems pretty good so far.
Will be reading The Heroes, by Joe Abercrombie as soon as it hits my doorstep. Can't wait for it!

Damn man. Dickens is the most boring author I have ever come across. I don't think I've ever finished one of his books.
