As I mentioned in my It’s Library Time! post, I have checked out Bill O’Reilly’s Patriots and Pinheads from the library. As I’ve mentioned, Pinheads and Patriots is a book included in my 2011 Reading Goals.

My Thoughts On The Audacity of Hope
This afternoon, during my lunch break, I managed to complete the President’s second book, The Audacity of Hope. As I mentioned previously in my First Impressions Post, I found the President’s writing to be very well and he was able to get his points across very well. I definitely agree with how he has broken [...]
Coming Soon – Resumption of ‘Marx’ Reading Challenge

I definitely learned a lot about his background and the difficulties he went through in not only discovering his racial background, but about the man himself. I find it very noble that [...]
First Impressions – Dreams From My Father
I’m a couple of days into reading President Obama’s memoir, Dreams From My Father. The book is divided into three sections, Origins, Chicago, and Kenya. Earlier today I completed the first part Origins. The book flows very nicely and is, surprisingly, very quick to read. In this first section, the President speaks about his difficulties [...]
