I recently read a good book called Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions by Dan Ariely. It's about behavioral economics and was pretty interesting if a bit lefty in places.

I'm just starting Noli Me Tángere by Jose Rizal. I think it's gonna be lame but will help me get into the panties of this hot Filippina chick.

Ctl + F "Infinite Jest"
Ctl + F "Homage to Catalonia"
holla
really slowed down on my reading in last two months, but i'm half-assedly working my way thru:
The Pale King, Wallace
The Age of Capital, Hobsbawm
What is History?, Carr
Also, full-assedly rereading Naming and Necessity by Kripke for an essay I'm working on. But thats only semi recreational.

Rereading "The Wealth and Poverty of Nations" by David S. Landes.
It is an incredible epic of a book.
