I recently picked up a book entitled Globalization by Alex MacGillivray from the "A Brief History of..." series. I have barely cracked it open but hope to get a sound and balanced history of the globalisation phenomenon.

Just finished Jens Bjerre's Forsvundne verdener

Globetrotter, documentary director, and member of Royal Geographical Society, Jens Bjerre has compiled his fascinating memories of three of the places and people who have made the greatest impression on him: the Bushmen in the Kalahari desert, the Australian aborigines and cannibals in New Guinea.

and Ender's Game

Intense is the word for Ender's Game. Aliens have attacked Earth twice and almost destroyed the human species. To make sure humans win the next encounter, the world government has taken to breeding military geniuses -- and then training them in the arts of war... The early training, not surprisingly, takes the form of 'games'... Ender Wiggin is a genius among geniuses; he wins all the games... He is smart enough to know that time is running out. But is he smart enough to save the planet?

I have a couple of recommendations. First The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream . And secondly Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance These are the books that launched me on the path to the White House. You could say they are the Mein Kampf of the multiracial 21st century.

I just started rereading "The Hobbit" for the umpteenth time. I think Tolkien gets better with each reading, and I am savoring it like a fine brandy or single malt scotch.

[Psychonaut]

I'm reading Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious by Carl G. Jung. It's an amazing collection of essays dealing with many facets of the collective unconscious and specific archetypes that Jung theorizes dwell within.
