What is Arianna reading? This next pick will be her sixth since we launched Huffington Post Books. It's something that you do every day, you like it sometimes and at others you don't. You're probably taking a break from it to read this post. You won't want to miss the discussion that will appear across the site about this next book and issue because it's going to change your life--in fact it will change everybody's lives for the better if we can all get together to exchange ideas on what's right about it, what's wrong about it and come up with a bunch of brilliant new ideas. We'll have lots of guest bloggers as well as our usual live video event. So come back tomorrow for Arianna's blog introducing our new pick.

Janine Wedel's "Shadow Elite"
Jeremy Rifkin's "Empathic Civilization"
Matthew Bishop and Michael Green's "The Road From Ruin"
