What interesting stuff are you reading lately?

I'm reading a book about immoral actions and how people justify these actions through Dissonance Theory and bias. I'm reading it for my grad program but it's actually really interesting.

Amazon.com: Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts (9780156033909): Carol Tavris, Elliot Aronson: Books


So are you reading something interesting lately? Maybe not a book but an article?

i'm reading the game of thrones series and i'm a subscriber to wired so i'll read their articles once i get them or whenever they're posted online. i check out the economist and wall street journal as well.

Killing season.

Apparently it's kinda like the book the wire was based on, but it's about LA cops, I'm enjoying it.

Makes LAPD seem like a shyt job tbh (the cops it follows are a black woman and a Hispanic male).

Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison, by Michel Foucault. See here. Reading it because I can. It's very good, but then again, it is Foucault.
