So, what are you reading now?

I've developed a stash of books from browsing garage sales, thrift stores and other sources for used books. My selections have ranged from wanna to should. I've finally gotten around to making a dent in the pile. Recently finished the Roosevelt biography, and today finished "Main Street" by Sinclair Lewis. Tonight I started John Kenneth Galbraith's "The New Industrial State." In the little progress I've made, I've been surprised by very readable style displayed by, of all things, an economist.

Regards,

JKG is very readable. His son also writes well IMHO. Lester Thurow is also very readable. Kenneth J. Arrow is another to keep in mind. Their scholarly writing tends to be less readable without a few courses in economics. Now, if you're trying to get some sleep, then John Maynard Keynes is the ticket.
