We will be going on family ski vacation, so there will likely be no new posts until week after next. In the meantime though here are the books that I am bringing with me:

*   [The Periphera](http://www.amazon.com/Peripheral-William-Gibson/dp/0399158448/)l by [William Gibson](https://twitter.com/GreatDismal). I am a huge William Gibson fan in particular Pattern Recognition and of course Neuromancer.[  
      
    ](http://www.amazon.com/Sex-Dawn-Stray-Modern-Relationships/dp/0061707813)
    
*   [Sex at Dawn](http://www.amazon.com/Sex-Dawn-Stray-Modern-Relationships/dp/0061707813) by Christoher Ryan and Cacilda Jetha. I am about halfway through this fascinating book about the earliest origins of human sexuality and their potential implications for our behaviors today. The book builds a strong case against the standard model that has been used to support the predominant conception of what marriage should be.[  
      
    ](http://www.amazon.com/How-Much-Enough-Money-Good/dp/1590516346)
    
*   [How Much is Enough](http://www.amazon.com/How-Much-Enough-Money-Good/dp/1590516346)? by [Robert](https://twitter.com/RSkidelsky) and Edward Skidelsky, which I just started at the recommendation of [Joshua Foer](https://twitter.com/joshuafoer). It starts out examining the famous [Keynes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Maynard_Keynes) essay on “[Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren](http://www.aspeninstitute.org/sites/default/files/content/upload/Intro_Session1.pdf)” that has been much cited recently.
    

One of the things I love about ski vacations is that they offer so much reading time. I no longer feel the need to ski from lift opening to closing – now I am often happy to call it a day shortly after lunch. Looking forward to a great combination of outdoors, reading and time with family and friends.
