Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance
Barack Obama
Three Rivers Press, 2004
Researching the Man
The man who wrote the book does not seem to be the man presented for the Presidency. This promotes a somewhat scary situation of mind-set of the man. It is a must read before the election.

Goodnight Moon
Margaret Wise Brown
HarperFestival, 1991
Generations
I bought this book for my daughter - in paperback, hardback, coloring book, etc.! This was her all-time favorite book growing up and now I'm buying it for her newborn son! That makes me really think this is a book "for generations".

Change We Can Believe In: Barack Obama's Plan to Renew America's Promise
Three Rivers Press, 2008
Another Great Book from Obama
This is exactly what I wanted to hear from Barack right now. His policies written down in a handy coffee table book. They asked what his policies were, where he stood on the issues, and here it is. Read it or stop nitpicking that he hasn't been clear.

Wise
A delightful story, and full of wisdom. Influenced me in pursuing what I dream about, and rediscovering my "personal legend" as he calls it.
