So; I'm shelving books, which Library Directors sometimes actually do, and I notice several books that I really want to read, if you don't get to them first.

They are:

Flat Broke in the Free Market : How Globalization Fleeced Working People by Jon Jeter (This may just make me depressed, or motivate me to be better informed and vote with more educated choices.)

Ripped : How the Wired Generation Revolutionized Music by Greg Kot (I just need to broaden my horizons.)

My Hope for Peace by Jehan Sedat, the wife of Anwar Sadat (I just want to know what this lady, close to the source, so-to-speak, has to say.)

Welcome to the Aquarium : a Year in the Lives of Children by Julie Diamond (This title got rave reviews in the publishing and education literature.)

The Spy Who Loved Us : the Vietnam War and Pham Zuan An's Dangerous Game by Thomas A. Bass. (Since I'm married to a Vietnam Vet and both spy stories and memoirs are a favorite of mine, I must read it.)
