Fordlandia, by Greg Grandin – A great study of business hubris, the necessity of adapting to other cultures, and the irony of Henry Ford valuing a world he helped to destroy.

Have to tell you about the book I am reading at the moment.
The Curious Incident of the dog in the Nightime. Its very sweet, funny and easy to read. A fictional account of a little boy with autism who sets out to find why his neighbours dog has been killed. Along the way he deals with the death of his mother and finding she was having an affair. I know it sounds strange, but its is lovely and warm and as my son has learning problems I can relate to it. It won't take long to read but I truely reccommend this as the first book to move me in a long time.:)

Just finished The Street by Mordecai Richler. A very quick, very enjoyable read looking at Jewish-Canadian culture. Other than Jacob Two-Two when I was a kid this is the only book I've read by Richler...will be looking into more.

Flu by Wayne Simmons... this guy found me on Facebook, and I ordered his book. Just got it today and ten pages in it looks real good.
This internet marketing works!

The book is good. A bit derivative but it's an engaging read.
