I just finished "On Bullshit" by Harry Frankfurt. It was a short but fun read, looking at what exactly bullshit is and how it differs from lying.
I'm also reading "The Three-Body Problem" by Cixin Liu. I'm only about 1/5 of the way through, but so far it's been great. Very fast-paced and easy-to-read, but still dealing with some deep and interesting themes. The last fiction book I read was kind of dense and bleak (although good), so this is freshingly light while not feeling like junk food. It's also the first book originally written in Chinese that I've read, so I am absolutely certain I am horrendously mispronouncing every name in my head.
