September Books Read

I know this is a little late, but for all of my fellow readers, here are my books read in September:

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell by Tucker Max.

Soon to be a movie, this book is a collection of sexual escapades from a Duke-educated, self-proclaimed a**hole.

Don't read this book if you have any morals. I personally thought it was hilarious.

Condi: The Condoleeza Rice Story by Antonia Felix

A quick paperback about our current Secretary of State, the brilliant Condoleeza Rice. I didn't know much about her before reading this book, and picked it up only because I was interested in her educational path. Turns out she has led an unbelievablely interesting life, and there can be no question as to her level of absolute brilliance. A well-researched book about an important person of our time.

As for her educational path, I was pleased to see that she began learning Russian and soviet studies around the same time in her college career I did. That made me feel a lot better, as I have shed many a tear over Russian frustrations.

Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska's Political Establishment Upside Down by Kaylene Johnson (Wasilla resident:)

Apparently, September was the month for reading about powerful political women. When I picked this book up, it happened to be the only one available on our future vice-president. I liked her before, but *love* her after reading this book. Sarah Palin is a woman who truly wants what is best for our country. Slammed by both Democrats and Republicans she has taken every opportunity to vote the way she feels is right, ignoring party lines. A nice change from her main competitor :(

Africa: A Biography of the Continent by John Reader

I pride myself on the fact that I have read almost every single book in the Africa section at Barnes and Noble. I didn't read many books this month, because the majority of the month was spent getting through this massive chunk of history. The book is a fascinating read though, for people like me, who can't get enough of anything having to do with this amazing place. I won't bore you with details, especially since most of my readers (hi Dad! hi Amy!) were bombarded with [what I think] awesome facts and trivia almost every day.
