Reading this fantastic book by Andrew Ross Sorkin. Set in 2007-08, it provides a detailed blow by blow account of how the economic crisis unfolded.
The interesting thing here is that the book focuses more on the human aspect of the story - the hectic parleys, the long hours spent hammering out deals, the negotiations between the companies on the brink of failure as well as what the government was doing/not doing to manage the crisis.
It is an unputdownable thriller and not at all a geeky book. Anyone with the slightest interest in the economy, business, leadership and crisis management will immensely enjoy reading the book.

I was gifted this book a couple of years ago but found it "too bog to finish reading" :-))
More seriously, a big WELCOME back to the bloggers world.
And, I found it difficult to keep track of some many characters in the book. Luckily, they have published photos of many of the scamsters and that helped !!!
Agree with Vish - Its too big to finish :) but sure is an interesting read..I read it a few months back - the lead character mainly alleged to be responsible for the tripping the dominoes has an interesting name - "Dick" :)
