Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World by Tracy Kidder
bruce erickson, August 19, 2008
Eloquent and inspirational. Tracy Kidder is perhaps the best writer of nonfiction narrative writing today. Paul Farmer is a Harvard-educated physician and epidemiologist who has focused his energy, talent and intellect on solving big problems, in some of the world's poorest regions. He reminds us all that there are higher callings than making a buck and settling in our overstuffed lounge chairs every night.(4 of 8 readers found this comment helpful)
Pennsylvania Avenue: Profiles in Backroom Power by John Harwood
bruce erickson, June 18, 2008
A compelling primer on how our Congress, the White House and movers and shakers in Washington make things happen, or not. A really good read. Well-written by two top-notch reporters.(0 of 1 readers found this comment helpful)
The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream by Barack Obama
bruce erickson, June 5, 2008
Lots of people, pro and con Obama, will try to explain and define Barrack Obama, but this is the best place to begin understanding him and his beliefs . . in his own words.(3 of 5 readers found this comment helpful)
The Prince (Modern Library Classics) by Machiavelli and Constant
bruce erickson, February 20, 2008
Machiavelli may have lived in Florence, Italy five hundred years ago but his writing and insights into government, politics, war, military occupations and administering defeated cities remain brilliant, relevant and illuminating. I rediscovered my Modern Library College Edition recently while cleaning out boxes of old paperpacks. I picked it up, started reading and couldn't stopped. Forty years after being required to read it, I finally had the life experience to enjoy and understand his discourses.(2 of 4 readers found this comment helpful)

A gritty, good read and, unfortunately, only too plausible.(6 of 11 readers found this comment helpful)
