John Bogle is the Mutual Fund master. Sometimes it‘s good to return to basics and read good ideas on investing. When the economic news is dismal returning to level headed advice is what buoys the spirit.

This is an intense read and a gut wrenching look into the American food industry. I was an omnivore at heart, and I read this book under my spouse‘s urging. I have to say that I can say with confidence that changing our house into a vegetarian household was a right decision. The author gives many perspectives and is honest in his wrestling with what he eats and feeds his family.

I listened to the audiobook and the readers were excellent! Each character had a very talented reader, and I deeply enjoyed this aspect of the book. The story on the other hand was the Atlas Shrugged for transhumanist anarchists and is filled with long monologues espousing the ideology and addressing its criticisms. The great voice acting could not overcome the evangelical tone of the text.

I was raised on a very rosy image of the United States, and Zinn helps snap your focus away from that gilded history to see the consequences of the dark chapters in the United States. Good post-Fourth of July read.
