One reading today: Stephen J. Rose reads at Elliott Bay Book Company this afternoon. Now, I'm not an economist or anything, but the title of Rose's new book, Rebound: Why America Will Emerge Stronger from the Financial Crisis, sounds like a whole lot of wishful thinking to me. But I haven't read this book, and maybe he makes a strong case, and maybe you need some wishful thinking this afternoon. If you do, this is the place you should be and the book you should be reading.

The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here. And if you're planning on staying in and you're looking for personalized book recommendations, feel free to tell me the books you like and ask me what to read next over at Questionland.
