not everyone vegetates infront of a television or computer screen.

Nice list. I read Star Wars novels.

You read 53 books in one year? That is approximately a book a week. You read the BIBLE in a week? Amazing. All kidding aside, I wish I could be that interested in reading. Sadly school has killed it for me.

I've read:

Black Boy (for class of course) by Richard Wright
Sustainability and Cities by Peter Newman and Jeffrey Kentworthy
The 10 Things You Can't Say in America by Larry Elder
Showdown by Larry Elder
The Law (essay) by Frederic Bastiat
That Which is Seen and That Which is Not Seen (essay) by Frederic Bastiat

Right now I'm reading Free to Choose by Milton Friedman and I'm going to start The Wealth of Nations after that. I'm hoping to read Democracy in America at some point in my life.

The 10 Things You Can't Say in America by Larry Elder

Heh, I remember reading that over the course of an afternoon at the library. Very interesting afternoon.

Well, I'm only like 40 pgs into it, but I can tell its going to be really fascinating. I think an outsiders analysis of the American system can shed a lot of light on what our political landscape is like today.

Of course, like I said, I'm barely into it so I can't say anything very insightful about it yet.
