to: Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions (Hardcover)byDan Ariely
A fascinating book by an MIT behavioral economist, along the same lines as Freakonomics. It explains why we love things that are free, how marketers use decoys to get us to do exactly what they want, and why expensive medicines seem to work better than cheaper ones. Lots of pertinent societal issues discussed with moral, ethical, and economic consequences including self-control, honesty, passion, and procrastination. Very readable and fun to discuss.

to: Fifth Business (Penguin Classics)byRobertson Davies
Wow, there is a reason this book deserves to be a classic. The story of a schoolmaster in Canada who served in WW1, has an obsession with saints, is drawn to the circus, and has a wealthy and politically influential friend. It is kind of a mystery, but you don't really know what the mystery is all about until you reach the very end.
