Winter reading list

That is right.  Korean schools have longer winter vacation (winter + spring vacation, because they are together - total of 2 months) than summer vacation, so it makes more sense to make a winter reading list instead of summer list.  Here it is:

Naked Economics, Charles Wheelan:  This book is pretty much what you think.  The author explains economics, also known as the dismal science, in a witty and entertaining way.  You'll be surprised how insightful economics can be.  I suggest that you read Freakonomics before you read this though.  Freakonomics is an economist's take on seemingly banal and unrelated issues (what does sumo wrestlers and teachers have in common?  How influential are over zealous parents?), while Naked economics explains what economics is all about.

Moneyball, Michael Lewis:  The true story about the great Billie Beene of course.  (Also a major motion picture).

Nothing to Envy, Barbara Demick:  Demick follows lives of 6 North Koreans for 15 years, and their realization that their country has betrayed them. 

False Economy, Alan Beattie:  I'm really interested in economics these days, can you tell?  But what I'm interested in is behavior economics, which is somewhat like a mixture between psychology and economics.

국가란 무엇인가?  유시민 (What is a government?): A book about the role of a government.

Playing our game; why China's rise doesn't threaten the west, Edward Steinfeld (in Korean):  Another economic book, but on China.

In the Jaws of the Dragon; America's fate in the coming era of Chinese hegemony, Fingleton (in Korean):  This book directly contradicts the book above. 

The Shack, WM. Paul Young:  Do I need to explain?  Here's an excerpt:  "In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant, The Shack wrestles with the timeless question:  Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" 

The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde. 

Norwegian Wood, Haruki: 

That's about it.  Feel free to make any recommendations!
