I'm leaving the country, so go read stuff

Your humble blogger will be MIA for the next few days, as he is attending the annual meeting of the Japanese Association of International Relations in Kobe, Japan for the next few days.

Let me assure my readers that my decision to flee leave the country has nothing whatsoever to do with recent events. It's just a very, very, very, very happy coincidence.

While I'm gone, let me recomend reading Evan Feigenbaum's new Council on Foreign Relations report, "The United States in the New Asia." I'll certainly be reading it on the flight. The latest issue of The National Interest is also worth a gander.

And now a request from my readers -- what's worth reading that I haven't commented on? In other words, what should I be reading?

EXPLORE:PERSONAL, ASIA/PACIFIC, POLITICAL SCIENCE

Good Book...Terrible Title

Paul Blustein has done the impossible - write an entertaining book about trade talks. I'm dead serious, it really is good! "Misadventures of the Most Favored Nations" is Blustein's take on the WTO and the Doha Round. Good writing, brief and great perspective and insight.
