And I think you'll find the interview with Rodrik interesting: http://www.worldeconomicsassociation.or ... sue3-2.pdf

Yeah, i liked that. I've found his work to be pretty reasonable for the most part, and reasonable is a pretty big compliment for me; it often results from clear and rigorous thought. And that's something i appreciate about his comments on the "mainstream/neoclassical economic method" or whatever you might call it: those methods can and often do lead to stronger theories because they force one to come to grips with the contradictions and shortcomings of their theory. But good theory in any discipline should do that, and really most good thinking should, so crediting the economic method sometimes strikes me as a little conceited.

I wasn't crazy about that book, but there was one sequence that I absolutely adored, when the guy goes through the manic episode. I feel like I lived through it, it was so well done.

Will do!

I haven't read her first book, so I have no basis for comparison. But I'm enjoying this one. It's not great, but it's fun. Cool plot, fun ideas, but a fairly run of the mill detective story/thriller, so far. About 120 pages in.

Gonna start getting caught up on some comics im WAY behind on, planning on nightwing 14 & 15, dark knight 14 & 15, detective comics 14 &15, batman and robin 14 & 15, batgirl 15 and batman 15 to get started and we will see after that

Slaughterhouse Five

"Austerlitz" was awesome. On to Saramago's "All the Names" next.

I keep meaning to finish this. I got about 3/4 through and never got a chance to go back.
