Edit I have another suggestion for ya and wanted to see it so I'm double posting for a cause but;
"Why do people hate America?" Is another great book.
The Master Switch too I really liked, though that is about the actual technicalities that make the interwebz actually work and how corporations would plan to seek control of it this becoming "the master switch" since our lives revolves around it and having companies attempting to control it could be catastrophic, may be interesting for you if you are into technology and corporate greed...

I'm still reading Tecopoly for now.

I'm reading Carmilla for school. It's sort of interesting.

Picked up a copy of Nova Zembla. An excellent piece of Dutch history.

Finally finished Tescopoly. It kind of drags to be honest and around the half way point onwards just felt like a typical old man "Back in my day" kind of rant against corporate power. Its kind of interesting to some degree but whether or not one could read an entire book on the same matter without forcing themselves to finish it is another matter.

I am just about to get a drink and begin reading "No Easy Day" which is a book written by one of the Seals who were part of the mission to kill Bin Laden, should be an interesting read. Apparently the book was not sent to officials for fact checking and contradicts certain things the government told us about the mission... Hmmm

Finished ^ its a good read, its quite short though and moves forward at quite a quick pace but yeah, a pretty solid book overall. The maps of the compound, diagrams marked with EZ and other pictures of such things gives a good idea of what it was like. Also mentions how soldiers sometimes feel they are the tools of politics and stuff, its a good message.

Now I am onto "The Chimp Paradox"
