Slashdot Asks: What Are Some Good Books You Read This Year?

Posted by msmash on from the slashdot-book-club dept.

As we inch closer to the end of the year, we will be running a couple of year-ender posts in the next few days. We're starting with books. What were some books you read this year that you would recommend to others? (It could be from any genre.) Second, what were some books from this year that you read that you would recommend to others? And third, what are you reading now, or planning to read soon?

    what you recommend then?

    Not the gp, but I will take a stab at it.

    People should absolutely read Karl Marx, but also read opposing views like Milton Friedman or Thomas Sowell. If one just reads Marx, one will remain ignorant of why he was so wrong on economics.
