This is an excellent book for readers of all backgrounds, regardless of how much you know about economics.
The Visitor - Lee Child
I did say that after the last Reacher book I read, Blue Moon, that I’d not read anymore, but when I opened my kobo account I downloaded this audiobook to try out the function on the kobo. It was a bit underwhelming a little bit like the audiobook itself.

Capital in the Twenty First Century - Thomas Piketty
This is a tough listen. Requires concentration and a few stops and starts to understand and maybe follow up on the subject matter. Not a light-hearted subject, although very interesting if you take your time.
