My latest read – The Post-American World
Fareed Zakaria’s The Post-American World is an enjoyable read. Most would recognize his CNN show Fareed Zakaria GPS. He has also participated in the World Economic Forum in Davos.

My latest read – America Alone
Mark Steyn has written a clever book America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It. In a post 9/11 world America, according to Steyn must “go it alone” against the impact Muslims have in today’s world.

My latest read – Hot, Flat and Crowded
Over the long holiday I finally finished Tom Friedman’s book Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution–and How It Can Renew America. The book is a mixed blessing. Friedman has written one of the best books to understand the emergency need for a global environmental revolution.
