Greenspan's Fraud, Sneaking into the Flying Circus by Alexdra Pelosi, Blood on the Street, Freakanomics, Hollywood Interupted (It was my birthday so I got GC to B&N)
My dad also gave me The United States of Europe

Five books that mean a lot to me:
1) The Rise of Christianity by Rodney Stark
2) Civilization and its Enemies by Lee Harris

4) Without Marx or Jesus by Jean-Francois Revel
5) Return to Sodom and Gomorrah by Charles R. Pellegrino
Hymer, I understand if you don't want to play along. No hard feelings.
Mark, dang boy, you can put them away. I am going to buy The United States of Europe. Without Marx or Jesus sounds very interesting. Is it about poverty?
If you don't mind, I would like to recommend, The European Dream by Jeremy Rifkin. It's very good, and I think you would appreciate it. It deals a lot with the integration of Europe and the competition between America and the EU.
The European Dream is on my Zooba list.
Without Marx or Jesus is about how no other country is capable of having the kind of revolution that created America. It deals with the pervasiveness of socialism/marxism and how it has taken hold of the world consciousness outside of the US whether they actively realize it or not. Fascinating stuff. The author also wrote Anti-Americanism, and despite the fact that he his French, is very pro-American.
