I have to do a book review, I need a book
« on: August 29, 2006, 05:25:20 pm »
...topic has to be related to US government.

Anyone know of anything good?  I've thought about doing Common Sense because I've never read that & it is a big part of early American history.

Thoughts/suggestions?

non-fiction

Do the novella Anthem by Ayn Rand.  It's a negative utopia novel that isn't entirely far from what may happen here.  :)

If you have to do fiction, you could also look into this book.....  :D

I'm told that is a good book.
Its about the special team Ross Perot put together to rescue 2 of his corporate employees from an Iranian prison.

Yeah, that's it, but a novella is of course fiction, so your prof might not sign off on it.

Did you look at my other link?  :D

I didnt even look at it because you said "If you have to do fiction..."

Clinton, hmm, brownie points there probably.
However I wouldn't say that is government, sure he was in government, but it isnt about government...that might be an iffy one.

rabbit, Do America would be hilarious

Men in Black looks pretty interesting

On Liberty - by John Stuart Mill, which is about, what else, Liberty. Looks at the rights of the individual and individual freedom. If you are what today would be considered a "conservative" you might want to stay away from this.

Those are soundin nifty so far.
Yay for people with suggestions that've read stuff before.
