The World is Flat.

Excellent book about America, India, Globalizalition and outsourcing.

Certainly not highbrow fare, but...
 

Persuader is a “Reacher” novel by Lee Child.

It is in the “disenchanted ÜberKool ex-military protagonist kicks butt” genre.

Now she has about a year's worth of reading material, since he's written so many freaking books. I think I may have a couple of his that I haven't read, but I'm pretty close to exhausting the supply. I even read all of his Miami Herald articles that are collected in an anthology.
His books do make you laugh out loud, which makes you wonder how could Hollywood take a very funny book called Strip-Tease and just take all the humour out of it.

No kidding. I had never even made the connection that the movie was based on his book until I'd read a few of his books and saw some blurb that listed him as the author of the book upon which the movie was based.

Strip Tease is one of the few books of his I still haven't read. I think the reason I've put it off is because the movie wasn't very funny. I'm sure the book is great, though. I'll have to check it out from the library, now. I'm needing something new to read.

Good work, and solidly researched. I also suggest Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipleago.

Island by Aldous Huxley.

Old, but interesting enough.

Kind of like you. Except for the "interesting" part.

There's a Christian author, Roger Elwood, who wrote a book called Angelwalk. EXCELLENT book. There's a trilogy based on it as well that includes Angelwalk, Fallen Angel, and Stedfast Gaurdian Angel.
