I am finishing up Liaquat Ahamed's Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World, which I received as a Christmas present. It's fantastic, which is probably why it won the Pulitzer. It relates the run up to the Great Depression from the perspectives of the four preeminent central bankers of that time: Benjamin Strong of the New York Federal Reserve, Montagu Norman of the Bank of England, Émile Moreau of the Banque de France, and Hjalmar Schacht of Germany's Reichsbank. Ahamed weaves a good narrative, and it provides insight into something I knew little about, and something that is quite relavent today. If you, or anyone else you know is a fan of the gold standard, read this book.
My next read is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, however it won't take me more than a few days. I am also planning on reading the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, but I decided to wait on it coming through my local used bookstore. I check in every week or so.
I am looking for the next read. I'm up for most anything as I have been reading mostly nonfiction lately.
