Below are owned-but-unread titles in my collection, listed here to spur me to reading them. This list only includes books I’ve bought and haven’t unread; the pile of books given to me I haven’t read yet is distressingly larger….
PHYSICAL BOOKS
The Oil Kings: How the US, Iran, and Saudi Arabia Changed the Balance of Power in the Middle East, Andrew Scott Cooper
The Moral Animal, Robert Wright
The Essential Russell Kirk, Russell Kirk
Constitutional Chaos | The Constitution in Exile | A Nation of Sheep, Andrew Napolitano
E-BOOKS
ST: My Enemy, My Ally, Diane Duane
Can I recommend reading about that “shithole” Haiti. As tragedies several hundred of years of French rule and American interference, invasions and abuse. And then a catastrophic earthquake which killed hundred of thousand and destroyed nearly everything. My son went there shortly after and described what he saw and how little aid was coming in. That's not what American media portrayed…:(
Yes, I'm hoping to find something that covers Haiti and the D.R. together, since they're neighbors on the same island. (Did your son make any mention of Doctors without Borders? Their literature at the time was intensely focused on Haiti relief efforts.)
Glad you've found the Mount TBR Challenge. Good luck with your TBR of Doom!
Thank you for hosting, and good luck to you as well!
