What Are You Reading?

I'm currently reading Gregory Mankiw's "Principles of Macroeconomics." It's an introductory text, and it really helps a layman such as myself. It draws quite a bit from the Behavioral Sciences, which I found quite surprising since the book deals with the "macro" perspective. Overall, fairly interesting and helpful.

Rapture in Death
Novel by Nora Roberts

The year is 2056. mood-altering drugs are legal, prostitution is licensed, virtual-reality games have replaced TV sets for entertainment and New York supercop Eve Dallas continues her sleuthing in Robb's fourth installment in the Death series. This time around, Eve has married her soul mate, Roarke, and is caught up in the puzzling suicide of a technician who's been working on Roarke's unfinished space resort. The young tech, Eve learns, had cheerfully hanged himself after a VR trip. Back on Earth, autopsies from two similar suicides reveal a pin-sized burn on the brains of the victims. All clues point to a deadly subliminal message in a VR toy?one that Roarke produces. This is sexy, gritty, richly imagined suspense. The fact that it is written by Nora Roberts under the pseudonym J.D. Robb is a tribute to her versatility.

Thanks, where do I find that?

P.S. My usual preference is European historical fiction written in the third person.

^Disappointment Panda just dropped by. We had margaritas, and he told me all about it: problems never f*cking go away, he said - they just improve.

I'm having a Jane Austen revival. Did Pride and Prejudice then Sense and Sensibility and am now on Persuasion. I think I'll give Emma and Northanger Abbey a miss. They've driven whatever I read before clean out of my head. In their favour, they are as enjoyable to reread as their first discovery. As to one's favourite book that is as impossible as one's favourite piece of music.
