My in-pile is looking uncomfortably small – I get a bit antsy when there are so few books in it (the left hand side consists of non-economics books).

Part of the reason is that I’ve just sent out a batch of interesting books for review by other people for the next edition of The Business Economist. Of course, I can tackle the non-economics books too, and indeed am part way through Jann Parry’s brilliant biography of Kenneth Macmillan, [amazon_link id=”0571243037″ target=”_blank” ]Different Drummer[/amazon_link]. And there are some obvious treats in this pile, including Robert Franks’ forthcoming [amazon_link id=”B005DI9RH6″ target=”_blank” ]The Darwin Economy[/amazon_link].

But with two long flights coming up, I need to add to the ‘work’ pile urgently.So – recommendations please!
