Finished Deep Economy by Bill McKibben. If you like Michael Pollan or any of the Friedman stuff, you'll like this. McKibben actually presents an interesting challenge to some of Friedman's points. He takes a lot of Pollan's ideas about local eating and applies them to our entire economic model.

Also read Living Dead in Dallas, which is one of the books that the True Blood series is based on. Just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Mediocre stuff, but entertaining.

Currently reading The Disciplined Mind by Howard Gardener. I really like his MI theory, but I'm not crazy about this book at all. Unfortunately, a colleague is bothering me daily about what I think about the book, and she loves it. I have to finish it quickly so I can move on to something else. Or I could just be impolite and tell her I don't like the book and am putting it down.
