This week, using Podcast.com, I checked out a podcast from the magazine, The Economist, on the books of the year. I discovered that in 2008, the largest number of new non-fiction books were written about China and the Middle East, with a new hot topic, the credit crunch, starting to come to the fore. Some of the books mentioned as excellent reads were "Modern China" by Jonathan Fenby, "When Markets Collide" by Mohamed El-Erian, and "How Fiction Works", by James Woods. Very interesting but a little more time consuming than just reading the same information.
I've now added this as a feed to my bloglines account.
