In this political year, I'd strongly recommend "The Fair Tax Book" and its sequel (can't exactly remember the title) which addresses questions raised by the first book. Both are by Neil Boortz and Rep. John Linder, are very fast reads, and offer a dramatic view of what the United States could very reasonably be if we quit using the current tax system as a method of rewards and punishments doled out by our "betters" in Washington.

I cannot imagine a larger paradigm shift for this country unless an alien spacecraft were to land on the White House lawn. Regrettably, one of the biggest lobbyist opponents to this is the National Association of Realtors. Doing away with our present structure and going to a one-time-per-finished-item sales tax on all goods and services would negate the need for lobbyists (working in D.C. to get special tax treatment for their special interest), and the NAR is the biggest lobbyist.

I'm a voracious reader for things that will truly help and that aren't just feel good.  thanks

I am reading The Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukov.  It comes highly recommended. ;-)

I recently finished a fun novel by John Grisham, King of Torts. I am a hopeless courtroom novel addict! This is the first novel I have read in three years. I believe that summers are made for fun fiction.

When I finish that one I have some real estate books that I want to read. I am creating a "Read Soon" shelf in a bookcase in my office for books I have collected in the last few months that are screaming to be read. I will keep you posted.

Joeann,

You're putting me to shame.  I have no reading list.  I'm on it!

Joeann - I'm also an avid reader.  But must admit this Summer the pile of unread books continues to grow on my desk.

However, there is one book, which I feel is a must read.  The title is, "The Secret."  It's about the capacity we all have to draw into our lives those things we require using the law of attraction.

I had also watched the video version of this book, and it is fascinating.  There are interviews with the great spiritual leaders of the world.

Joeann,

I'm a reading fan but suffer with my eyes and reading so I tend to rely on audio books more that print.  I love to listen and have several going all the time ... one at the office, one in the car, one at home.  Like people I know who read several books at a time, I listen to several at once and find it very inspiring.
