Getting to Know Barack

A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (P.S.)
Howard Zinn
Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2005
No sugar coated, political correctness here!
Well written, intensely compelling, and mind expanding. This book should be a mandatory read for every high school student in the country. Throw away The American Pageant, and hand out Zinn's book instead.

A Voyage Long and Strange: Rediscovering the New World
Tony Horwitz
Henry Holt and Co., 2008
A fun way to learn America's "true" origin
The "truth" about America's origins is uncovered in interesting storytelling fashion. At times it reads like page turner. It might broaden a reader's viewpoint but it will make "little difference", because "...Myths didn't just trump fact; they helped create it." If ...

The Crucible (Penguin Classics)
Arthur Miller
Penguin Classics, 2003
The Devil is Precise
On my walk through the LoA edition of Arthur Miller plays I bypass The Enemy of the People, the Ibsen adaptation, which I think is a waste of everyone's time, and go straight to the Crucible, which I had never read, nor watched on stage or screen. Very odd. It is a ...
