I’ve read several interesting books over the past couple of months.

[list]
[*][url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/006073132X/bujinkanmartia0b/]Freakonomics[/url] – The cover alone is worth the price of the book! Actually, Chris M lent this to me, so I didn’t have to buy it. Who knew economics was so interesting? Although the authors look at some fairly complex issues, the book is written in a simple way that’s easy to understand. No doubt, that accounts for the book’s popularity.
[*][url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0515105937/bujinkanmartia0b/]Carrier[/url] – I decided to read this after I started playing Falcon 4: Allied Force again thinking it would capture some of that excitement. Unfortunately, the author does not seem to be very talented as the characters are sort of one-dimensional. The fighter combat was interesting and action-packed, but did not make up for the poorly written dialog and see-through plot.
[*][url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060934913/bujinkanmartia0b/]Kitchen Confidential[/url] – I’m reading this now and it’s pretty engaging.
