Anyway, on the literary front, there was an interesting book review today in the Times about a good summer read. If you're interested The article is titled A Cynical Seer Unnerved by her Own Inner Psychic. It seemed alternative and not a bad read. As far as I'm concerned, I'm still chugging through The Grapes of Wrath (a fantastic book) and I've picked up another book in the airport during my travels, Obamanomics: How Bottom-Up Economic Prosperity Will Replace Trickle-Down Economics.
As you can probably tell, I'm gearing up for the election. One of my favorite things is to discuss with people (I'm staying away from the word "argue", though that's what it often turns into). I think it's really important to be active in voting, and even if you disagree with current policy, you have no right to complain unless you participate! To be honest, I disagree with almost everything happening in current policy today. Instead of complaining about it, I want to learn more - a stifling amount of information - and then complain about it with facts. I'm thinking this book will be mostly theoretical, which is unfortunate, but understandable. This is supposed to be an easily digestible book that the general public can enjoy without falling asleep. So I'm looking for some fresh ideas, but, aside from that, I'm not setting the bar very high. I'll let you know how that goes.
