Hi Ladies:
My apologies for multiple e-mails, Google’s acquisitions have made it possible for me to have multiple accounts here, but I think I got it all straight.
I thought I would write about my choice of book. I did suffer a lot of stress and anxiety over this selection. I am not sure why. Most books seemed too long for us, too superficial, too cliché... you get the idea. I can pretty much tell you about the top lists, ratings and the comments for all mayor bookstores and newspapers.
That being said, I have always had remorse about my apathy with American politics. Well, politics in general. After all, I wanted to become a citizen, so I would have a say on where I thought OUR country should go (It is still weird to say OUR country). I wanted to learn more, but I found all kinds of excuses…
I ran into this book in a couple of the best selling lists. “The Revolution” by Ron Paul. I don’t know Ron Paul and by no means I am pushing any political agenda, but I did like a few of the pages I read. I remembered I had heard about him, about his separation from both established political parties and about his “obsession” with the constitution and the founding fathers (which is another neglected subject I would love to learn more about). So here it is a selfish choice, with no agenda other than a better understanding of where we are as a nation. I hope you enjoy it, but if it becomes a competition with on Mexican time that’s OK too. I am looking forward to a good healthy discussion.
Love you all!
Monica
