Moneyball | How would you successfully run a major league baseball team without a massive budget? Buy players based on their historical performance, and get some geeks to develop more and more statistics, instead of relying on scouts. | Quite interesting, although a glossary for non-baseball followers would have been useful. | |

The Big Short | A detailed explanation of the 2006(ish?) financial crash driven by the sub-prime mortgage crisis. | Good, lots of details lots of weird personalities. Complicated though, not sure I quite understand it still, eg credit default swaps etc. | |
