Being informed about what is REALLY happening in the world today seems like a full time job at times. There are a multitude of books being written that offer insight into topics such as the financial meltdown, genetically modified foods, global warming, the federal reserve, socialism on a corporate level and more.  Our Book Club will concentrate on titles such as: 

Griftopia: Buble Machines, Vampire Squids, and the Long Con That is Breaking America by Matt Taibbii

Unequal Protection: How Corporations Became "People" - And How You Can Fight Back by Thomm Hartmann

The Family by Jeff Sharlet and/or C Street: The Fundamentalist Threat to American Democracy by Jeff Sharlet

Republican Gomorrah: Inside the Movement that Shattered the Party by Max Blumenthal 

The End of Nature by Bill McKibben 

Capital Offense: How Washington's Wise Men Turned America's Future Over to Wall Street by Michael Hirsh

American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America and/or Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle by Chris Hedges

Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies About the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You're Eating by Jeffrey M. Smith

Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods by Jeffrey M. Smith

The World According to Monsanto by Marie-Monique Robin

This list is merely a beginning - so many books and so little time.  Hope this offers you some food for thought and helps to motivate you to join our Book Club!  We welcome all perspectives!
