Books and Papers Everywhere!
It's amazing, I started off this day feeling really uninspired, but a quick trip to Chapter's has definitely changed that. I bought three books and a journal (American Interest) and ordered two more through their online service. Since I got home just over an hour ago I've already read a significant chunk (ok the first chapter) of Richard N. Haass's The Opportunity: America's Moment to Alter History's Course. It's a fantastic book and has squeezed its way into the lit review section of my MA thesis; I've already written a couple of pages on that particular item and hope to get even more done by the end of the day. I love it when this happens!
Just in case anybody is interested, and if you've read these books by all means feel free to chip in some commentary and thoughts--who knows, you may get an acknowledgment in the final copy of the thesis!--this is what I've picked up:
Acheson, Dean. Present at the Creation.
Allison, Graham. Nuclear Terrorism: The Ultimate Preventable Catastrophe.
Keegan, John. The Iraq War.
Muravchik, Joshua. The Imperative of American Leadership.
None of those. Free from school, I've spent my last bit of time on Michener's Texas, Poland, Carribean and now, Mexico. Alaska next.
