Bump. Need some reading material. I’m not opposed to fiction, but I like to learn when I read. Don’t want anything too heavy though. Taking a vacation soon. I’m thinking about maybe one of these: ![http://a1055.g.akamai.net/f/1055/1401/5h/images.barnesandnoble.com/images/27120000/27127322.jpg](http://a1055.g.akamai.net/f/1055/1401/5h/images.barnesandnoble.com/images/27120000/27127322.jpg) ![http://a1055.g.akamai.net/f/1055/1401/5h/images.barnesandnoble.com/images/10440000/10445976.jpg](http://a1055.g.akamai.net/f/1055/1401/5h/images.barnesandnoble.com/images/10440000/10445976.jpg) ![http://a1055.g.akamai.net/f/1055/1401/5h/images.barnesandnoble.com/images/10250000/10251958.jpg](http://a1055.g.akamai.net/f/1055/1401/5h/images.barnesandnoble.com/images/10250000/10251958.jpg) ![http://a1055.g.akamai.net/f/1055/1401/5h/images.barnesandnoble.com/images/10760000/10760979.jpg](http://a1055.g.akamai.net/f/1055/1401/5h/images.barnesandnoble.com/images/10760000/10760979.jpg) ![http://a1055.g.akamai.net/f/1055/1401/5h/images.barnesandnoble.com/images/25490000/25492259.jpg](http://a1055.g.akamai.net/f/1055/1401/5h/images.barnesandnoble.com/images/25490000/25492259.jpg) I dunno though.

who moved my cheese is actually a pretty good book, but it is generally handed out by Corp HR depts before a merger type of event, so it gets a bad rep. I def think that you should read audacity of hope. I have a couple that I can loan you, that you might enjoy. Will post em when I get home. ---

Fry, American history: [Peoples’ History of the United States by Howard Zinn](http://www.amazon.com/Peoples-History-United-States-Present/dp/0060838655/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210362102&sr=8-1) Everyone should read this book. Sensational. "Consistently lauded for its lively, readable prose, this revised and updated edition of A People’s History of the United States turns traditional textbook history on its head. Howard Zinn infuses the often-submerged voices of blacks, women, American Indians, war resisters, and poor laborers of all nationalities into this thorough narrative that spans American history from Christopher Columbus’s arrival to an afterword on the Clinton presidency.
