The Recessionistas



Even if you don't know a thing about the global economy, you will enjoy The Recessionistas. This tongue-in-cheek view of the decline and fall of New York's investment banking industry in 2008. The novel focuses on how the wives of these big time players handle the financial reality and how they must sacrifice life's necessities, such as nannies, drivers, and personal trainers. Should we feel sorry for them? Hmm...

The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Set in post World War I Barcelona The Angel’s Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon is a novel steeped in magic, ambition, and romantic obsession. Young novelist David Martin is visited by a mysterious stranger who commissions a book for which “people will live and die.” In return, he will receive untold wealth and more. A secret library of lost books, betrayal by friend and lover, and the political turmoil of 1920’s Spain come together in a story reminiscent of the great social and moral epics of Stendhal, Flaubert, and others. I hated to have it end!
