It’s kind of cool these days to be able to put up weekend reads without having to spew out the same list of world problems. Don’t get us wrong- the Eurocrisis, global occupations, and all such vexing events are still in full force. It’s just that there’s new chaos to talk about- like Ghadhafi being killed by a Yankee’s fan, or wild animals on the loose in Ohio (lions, and tigers, and bears- oh my!), or the NBA threatening us with no Bulls games (fastest way to anger our CEO). That being said, it is the weekend- so kick back, relax, and enjoy these weekend reads… but be sure to check back in on Monday for our review of the new movie Margin Call, and exclusive interview with producer Neal Dodson!
