The Undercover Economist

The Undercover Economist by Tim Harford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Quite a thought provoking book. The passages on how to tackle global warming by taking into account external costs, and the one on health insurance system comparison between US and UK are really great. The last part on How China became rich is also a good read for someone who wonders how a communist country is one of fastest growing in the world.
Though I am not in complete agreement with Tim Harford on his thoughts on free trade, but still those are interesting.
Overall a must read for a person who is even a little bit inclined towards economics.

The Shadow of the Wind

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An old school thriller about a mysterious writer Julian Carax with a troubled past and how our protagonist Daniel tries to uncover it.
The story has some good twists and turns and has engaging characters who time and again come up with some memorable dialogues.
