Vacation Reading List

Next week, The Stalwart will be on hiatus as a take a much-needed vacation to a tropical island.  The last time I took any time off of work was when I got married last summer, which wasn't exactly a restful vacation.  I'll still have my computer with me (to avoid going through intense withdrawal), but I'm actually going to try doing something very radical: reading books.  Yes, real printed pages.  Strange, I know.

Here's my vacation reading list

• Moneyball  I know, I should've read this years ago, but sometimes you just don't get around to it.  I'm about a third of the way through, and it shouldn't be hard to finish it over the coming week.  Full writeup when I'm done, although I wonder if the world needs another person to talk about this book.
• Bumblebee Economics  Also, been in the hopper for a long time.  Given the bee shortage, it seems more pertinent than when I first ordered it.
• Your Worst Poker Enemy Duh, your worst poker enemy is yourself.  At least in my case it is.  Gotta fix that loose cannon head of mine.
• Rebirth of American Industry A study of lean management
• Mother Night The Strand had a big pile of Kurt Vonnegut books out the last time I was there, presumably on account of his recent passing,  so I picked this one up.  I've liked just about every Vonnegut book I've read, and I doubt this will be different.  But I have to be honest, this will probably be the last on my list, because, let's face it, life's too short to read fiction.

And there you have it.
