Line: 1 to 1
            I was going to email Eben to ask if he had any recommendations for books to read over the summer and I realized other people might be interested as well. Hopefully not only Eben, but we all, can post book recommendations here.
Line: 150 to 150
 If you're interested in economics/the occupy movement, one of its lead activists called David Graeber wrote a book called "Debt: the First 5000 Years" which looks at the social structures, creditor/debtor relationships, the nature of money and interest, the relationship between debt and military conquest and other fascinating things from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia through to the present. Not technical at all, available as an E-book and a very enjoyable read.

>		I found this review of Graeber's book to be the best I've seen so far. If you are interested in these ideas but do not necessarily want to commit to a 500+ page book, I highly recommend checking it out.
