Michael Lewis is a very good writer.  I loved Moneyball, but i'm a big baseball fan.  [livejournal.com profile] palecur loved it even more than i did (he read it in a day or two), and he's not.  Lewis's writing is compelling and cogent, and he has a knack for getting great conversation from his subjects.

Lewis has written a follow-up to his first book, Liar's Poker, in which he talks to people to find out how our current financial crisis happened, and why it was, perhaps, unavoidable.  It's a fantastic read that will probably leave you clutching your head like a stunned monkey at times.  It's longer than your typical article, but it's worth reading.
