Hope on a Tightrope: Words & Wisdom by Cornel West

tgrang13, August 16, 2012

I really enjoyed this book. Cornel West is such a genius. This book is basically a whole lot of memorable quotes and words of wisdom. He speaks of democracy, religion, freedom,
Wall Street, the blues, and just about everything else that he is interested in. I very much appreciate his views on religion, even though I am not a religious person myself. I also like that he has enough criticism to go around for everyone. I highly recommend this book. It is very well put together. I did not want to put it down.

Collins Spanish Concise Dictionary, 6th Edition by Harpercollins

tgrang13, August 8, 2012

This is a great dictionary. It is very easy to use, and is so much better than older versions that I have seen my classmates using. It also has very helpful quick reference sections in the back. For example, conjugation of all irregular verbs. I would highly recommend this one to anybody taking a spanish class. Me gusta este libro!

Government's Place in the Market (Boston Review Books) by Eliot Spitzer

tgrang13, August 8, 2012

I liked this book a lot, however I don't think it is worth the money. It is only 83 pages, and took me about an hour to get through it (and I am a slow reader). What I really liked about it though, was that Spitzer's points were clear and concise. Very easy to understand even for someone who does not know a lot about economics, such as myself. The responses to critique on the role of government in the marketplace were also presented in the same way. I think it is a very good book for reference, though. I know that I will probably use it in the future to write papers for college and the like. I would recommend it, but I would try to get it used.

The Speech: A Historic Filibuster on Corporate Greed and the Decline of Our Middle Class by Bernie Sanders

tgrang13, August 7, 2012

This book was so inspiring. I want to be Bernie Sanders if I grow up!! It is a transcript of the historic speech that Bernie Sanders gave on the Senate floor in 2010. He went on for about 8 1/2 hours, and the man is 70 years old! He talks about so many things that are so important to know if you want to be an informed voter. If you are ready to find out how tax cuts for the rich really work, then read this book. Actually, I believe that everyone should read this book. Senator Sanders is the longest serving Independent in Congress, and I have a feeling he will continue to be as long as he still wants to job. He speaks of the real disparities that are going on in America and poses questions such as why are we giving billionaires tax breaks when we are cutting important spending such as Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, education, and investment into our crumbling infrastructure. I highly recommend this book.
