Books To Read – March 2011
The Warmth Of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration By Isabel Wilkerson I stumbled across this book thanks to Amazon’s recommendation engine.

Books To Read – February 2011
The Rational Optimist By Matt Ridley I am not much of an optimist, or at least I should say I haven’t been in the past. As I have gotten older, I have realized that much of my pessimism was due to the fact that I paid too much attention to what other people were saying. […]
