The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream (Vintage)
Barack Obama
Vintage, 2008
A good way to get and understanding of Barak Obama

The Conscience of a Liberal
Paul Krugman
W. W. Norton, 2007
Finally some good news!
I pretty much read only non-fiction, which is usually very informative but highly depressing. Krugman somehow manages to cover the modern American political state of affairs without depressing me. In fact this book is very hopeful in specific ways and overall quite ...

Where the Wild Things Are
Maurice Sendak
Harper Collins, 1988
Imaginative and Amazing Illustrations
The illustrations in this book really caught my eye. My favorite one was when all the wild things were howling at the moon. I enjoyed how the text stretches over a few pages and keeps the reader interested.

It isn't often that one finds a celebrity figure who is honest enough to not only admit their flaws, but draw attention to them. In Barack Obama's memoir, he does just that. Regardless of his portrayal in the media and his appeal as a politician, Obama wrote a story ...
