New this week: Boomerang by Michael Lewis

Michael Lewis is on a roll--his last audiobook, The Big Short, was a huge bestseller, and the film adaptation of Moneyball is a hit in theatres.  New this week, check out Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World, about the recent financial crisis.  From the New York Times review:

"Mr. Lewis’s ability to find people who can see what is obvious to others only in retrospect or who somehow embody something larger going on in the financial world is uncanny. And in this book he weaves their stories into a sharp-edged narrative that leaves readers with a visceral understanding of the fiscal recklessness that lies behind today’s headlines about Europe’s growing debt problems and the risk of contagion they now pose to the world.
