Have you read The Worst Hard Time? That was an excellent book, all about the Dust Bowl.
Oh, I recently read Patriots. It was okay. Definitely thought provoking in an apocalyptic way.

Finishing War Made New (Max Boot)
Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming
Politically Incorrect Guide to Evolution
I Can’t Believe I’m Sitting Next to a Republican
Since we’re talking books though, CAN NOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH “Aquariums of Pyongyang”. Most moving book I’ve ever read (written by the hand of man anyway).

You’ll enjoy Black Swan — just finished it. another along the same lines is Malcolm Gladwell’s - Outliers - on the NY times Nonfiction best seller list (if that means anything). In fact Black Swan author and Gladwell reference each other.

I’m rereading ‘The Frugal American Housewife’. I think you can get it free from Project Gutenberg.

Becker CPA exam review material. I wouldn’t recommend it. Unless you suffer from insomnia.

I own it! Completely forgot about it. I wonder where it is...

Just realized I began every paragraph of my post with “I”. It’s all about me, I guess. :o) I just noticed that.

Gulag Archipelego - by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Am learning how to cope with the coming round-ups and maintain a sense of humor.
Seriously though, this is scary reading. I still have not come to even remotely comprehend the complete depravity of the whole thing. It foreshadows what is truly possible, even here, in the US, if we allow a depraved tyrant to rule over us.
Also just finished Glenn Beck's Common Sense.
