15 best nonfiction books of 2011: CSMonitor picks

15 bests nonfiction titles of 2011, according to the Monitor's reviewers

12. "Boomerang," by Michael Lewis

In Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World (W.W. Norton, 213 pp.), Michael Lewis touches down in the nations damaged by the 2008 financial meltdown and proves yet again that he can turn any subject into irresistibly readable prose. Monitor books editor Marjorie Kehe writes of “Boomerang” that – between Lewis’s witty style and his horrifying subject matter – “you won’t know whether to laugh or cry while reading it.” (CSMonitor.com, 10/13/11)
