What are you reading? (Page 7)

"Obama Zombies" 

what a book....I can only read a chapter or two then have to put it down to clear my mind.....really good insight into the venemous partisan politics of the US.  Wow is all I can say!

I've got this on the night stand in queue. Currently finishing up Born to Run by Chris McDougall.

I've almost finished "The art of racing in the rain" by Garth Stein

Previously:

1. "The botany of desire" by Michael Pollan

2. "The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy" by Pietra Rivoli

3. "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman

I'm currently in re-reading mode.

Just finished - A Salty Piece of Land by Jimmy Buffett.

Currently - Prey by Michael Crichton.

The Lasts Werewolf by Glen Duncan.   Will have to put down the Feast of Crows and see if I can knock this book out.

MUST READ.   Starts off kinda slow, but keep at it.  Haven't finished it yet.   But it is the kind of book that you wnat to put down to reflect on and then pick up again to continue reading

The Last WereWolf.

Recent:

Predictably Irrational - Dan Ariely

The Upside of Irrationality - Dan Ariely

Current:

The Tipping Point - Malcolm Gladwell

I like books on statistics and human nature.  You would be surprised how often you can predict what people do in certain cases and why.  

Let us know what you think about the Ariely books. I've heard him speak a couple times and his work is interesting.

I read a lot of psychology and neuroscience and am interested in the rational and more often irrational ways we think. Recently read Michael Shermer's 'How We Believe' and re-read Antonio D'Amasio's 'Descarte's Error'. Also Tim Wilson's 'Strangers to Ourselves' which is about how much of our behavior is subconcious.
