Now that my magazine subscriptions have pretty much run dry, I’ve actually been able to get back into some real honest-to-goodness books in between chapters of economics. I’ve gotten back into Chris Turner’s Planet Simpson which has been languishing on my shelf for a year; once I’ve finished that I plan to read one of the following:

• No War: America’s Real Business In Iraq
• Freakonomics
• Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Shit?
• The Guns Of August
