Hopefully I can drag Dan away from his boat for an afternoon of reading
Well, I did a little damage at the bookstore last night. I wonder if I can even remember all the books I bought but here goes:
Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn;
The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid: Eradicating Poverty Through Profits by C.K. Prahalad;
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins, some thick book about the financial crash, and
This Child Will Be Great by Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the first female president in Africa.
My current plan – if I can drag my husband away from his boat-building activities (see picture above) – is to grab a stack of these and go spend Saturday at Jamaica Pond and pretend I actually live in Boston or something.
