Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World by Michael Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I appreciated Mr. Lewis’ even handed analysis of this financial nightmare. If you are looking for someone to blame politically for this crisis, you won’t find that partisanship here. Many of the personal stories and cultural observations were unique and entertaining, but the math is terrifying.

This is SO not what you intended with your blog, but I enjoy reading your description as much or more than the topic! I might as well go all the way and say I didn’t read anything about Michael Lewis at all…. Maybe there’s a New Year’s Resolution in there for me!
