Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver

Um, my second recommendation would be uh, Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingolver, which came out a couple of years ago and I think won the Pulitzer and it's a a beautiful novel um, that's loosely based or sort of an update of of David Copperfield uh, that I think besides being, you know, extraordinarily written has some tremendous political ical insights in it as well. I don't if have you read it?

Our Dollar, Your Problem by Kenneth Rogoff

Um, currently I am reading Ken Rogoff's book, Our Dollar Your Problem, which has like a sweeping history of how the dollar became the global reserve currency and how much of that was about luck and whether that will persist. I haven't finished it yet, but I really I'm really enjoying it right now.
