Looking for interesting non-fiction works like Freakonomics or anything by Gladwell. Bonus points for economists or statisticians who write in plain American. TIA.
Naked Economics, wonderful book. Economics in plain English. As a bonus, he just put out a book in the same style on statistics. It's good too.
I liked Patrick Rothfuss' unfinished series better (the first one is called Name of the Wind). But, I did enjoy reading this series too. I started his next stand alone book and am enjoying it so far.
Some of the best stuff I've read in a long time when it comes to epic fantasy. Pretty easy to see two trilogies that will form the entire story and it will kick so much ass. Waiting between the books, as Rothfuss is on Jordan/Martin time, will not be so much fun.
