The New Years Reading List

This is just a taste of what I plan on reading in the new year. I'm having a blast getting to read something not required by school . . . and yet some how all roads lead to social work . . .





















Give Me Liberty by Naomi Wolf
Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv
Global Capitalism by Jeffery Frieden
Propaganda and the Public Mind by Noam Chomsky

What else do I want to read in the new year . . . .

Here's NPR's Best Books for a Transformative New Year list:
- The Tribes of America: Journalistic Discoveries of Our People and Their Cultures, by Paul Cowan
- Hunger of Memory, by Richard Rodriguez
- American Crucible: Race and Nation in the Twentieth Century, by Gary Gerstle
- The Wordy Shipmates, by Sarah Vowell

And here's NPR's Best Political And Current Affairs Books Of 2008 list:
- The Forever War, by Dexter Filkins
- An Imperfect Offering: Humanitarian Action for the Twenty-First Century, by James Orbinski, M.D.
- Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America, by Rick Perlstein

And of course, last but certainly not least, I want to read Whatever It Takes: Geoffrey Canada's Quest to Change Harlem and America by Paul Tough. Nashville could really benefit from a program like the Harlem Children's Zone, can I get an Amen!
