What are you reading?

Just a quick note this morning before I head to work (a new job, thank heavens!), that I read the series called the "Hunger Games" and I was not affected by the storyline at all: Probably because of the level of abuse I have survived in my lifetime - or - something like that. I filter from a variety of lens in life and was not impressed with this series. I took the books back and traded them in for something different to read.

I'd rather read a real life account of some fucked up situation and the details involved and how perpetrators of abuse committed their crime (s) rather than read material as presented in the format of the "Hunger Games" - but I'm not the average reader and do not expect my views about this book to meld with other opinion.

I wonder if anyone has read other non-fiction accounts within the genre of white collar crime... I'm interested in reading things of this nature. If anyone has a recommendation for a book they liked, I'd be interested in hearing about it.
