Currently reading or just read:
Winston's War: Churchill, 1940-1945 by Max Hastings --This is the first history book I've read in a looong time. So far so good.
Books vs. Cigarettes by George Orwell
Politics and the English Language by George Orwell
Individualism and Economic Order by F.A. Hayek
Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World by Michael Lewis
Next up I'm finally going to read On Liberty and then I'm hoping to find a collection of Steinbeck's nonfiction called America and Americans. I'm also "reading" a couple different intro level macroeconomic textbooks as I get ready to teach that course for the first time next month.

have you ever read On Liberty before? It remains my favorite work of political philosophy.

Conclusion: Thousands of unhappy, discontented people are moving to Colorado in order to fulfill that deep yearning in their soul, hoping to improve their way of life, and arrive here without any money and discover only despair. . . . Society has taught us to lie, steal, and cheat, and deception is the paramount prerequisite in man’s makeup. . . . As my observation of people approaches the fifth year, I am beginning to become pessimistic as to the direction our society is heading, and feel myself becoming more depressed as I determine the futility of it all.
