Been reading some new books lately:
No Logo by Naomi Klein - Excellent book about the influence that big corporations and brands have on our societies.
Happiness: Lessons from a New Science by Richard Layard - Interesting book about what makes people happy.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy - Had to get this since so many people here and elsewhere have recommended it and I wasn't disappointed.
How Are We to Live?: Ethics in an Age of Self-Interest by Peter Singer - Another excellent book. Covers huge range of moral issues. If you are even slightly interested in philosophy this is a good read in my opinion.
