<p>I recently read The Da Vinci Code, and I just started on Angels&Demons (both by Dan Brown). I am a HUGE Tamora Pierce fan (Vive la fantasy!). I also love Freakonomics.</p>
<p>What Books have you guys been reading?</p>
<p>I love reading too. :D Lately I've been reading Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel (sp?) and Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. </p>
<p>Dan Brown is an Exeter grad...thought I'd point that out. :P</p>
<p>i know! yeah, i started reading it when I thought I might go to Exeter. He grew up on-campus (his dad taught), went there, and taught there for awhile.</p>
<p>Are you a freakonomics economist or a serious reading economist? That isn't an insult, it is just based on your interest level(The material in freakonomics isn't really alot of economics in relation to the girth of the sociology content). IF you really want some hard economics/random theory then I would really try and read:
-How we decide(Brain and decision analysis)</p>
<p>A guy I met at an award ceremony(last name of Fish... I can't remember his first name) wrote some incredibly detailed economics books... I would check it on amazon under writers(he is from London). I read the rough draft and loved it... A little dry though.</p>
<p>I've written for economic magazins and I've taken APs and classes(Self studied APs). I'd love to talk to you sometime about Economics!</p>
<p>oh no not interested in hard economics, more into the sociology part of it.</p>
<p>Read "Gang leader for a Day". </p>
<p>It is a bit "adult", but it is really interesting. Basically it shows the economy of the projects(I lived in Chicago by the University of Chicago in 1992). I was born in 1992 about when the book ends.(Book ends before that by like 5 years or something).</p>
<p>ok I'll look for it.</p>
