Audacity of Hope
by Barack Obama
As opposed to his first novel, Barack Obama delves into policy and his world view as opposed to a narrative. As someone who strongly supports his presidential bid, I really think this book helped me to understand the Why on his policy. I think it was well thought-out and fantastically crafted, though I won’t lie that I got a bit bogged down by the jargon, at times. A great read for anyone who desires to be an informed voter or for anyone who wants an honest look at American politics in our modern society.

The River Between – Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o
I’m so over unhappy endings and political works. This was exhaustingly emotional.

I Am America (And So Can You!) – Stephen Colbert
This got a bit tantalizing by the end. The Colbert Report = good, but this was, I think too much of him all at once for me. It probably would have been a lot better had I spaced out my reading. But, alas, I have a goal .. drat.
Book One

This probably isn’t fair, but I am doing this because I completed a book last week and really feel like I’ve set a decent goal for myself. I have just moved away from the city to a smaller area and have refused myself television or (a constant) internet connection. This might just work.
Book One:
Monster: The Autobiography of an LA Gang Member
by Sanyika Shakur AKA Monster Kody Scott
And, for your records, the book is informative but difficult to follow and quite repetitive and uninteresting at times.
