Please tell me in the comments which of these books (in no particular order) you would like to discuss in June/July/August and add suggestions of your own:
Caste - Isabel Wilderson - Original and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today.
In Defense of a Liberal Education - Fareed Zakaria - Zakaria eloquently expounds on the virtues of a liberal arts education—how to write clearly, how to express yourself convincingly, and how to think analytically. He turns our leaders' vocational argument on its head. American routine manufacturing jobs continue to get automated or outsourced, and specific vocational knowledge is often outdated within a few years. Engineering is a great profession, but key value-added skills you will also need are creativity, lateral thinking, design, communication, storytelling, and, more than anything, the ability to continually learn and enjoy learning—precisely the gifts of a liberal education.
Fascism - A Warning - Madeline Albright A good walk through history of the development of Fascism in Italy and Germany, drawing parallels to present day US
Uncovering the Logic of English: A Common-Sense Approach to Reading, Spelling, and Literacy, Denise Eide. Things like why we spell mimic without a K and mimicking with a K and why we spell thaw /thaw/ instead of /thau/. Just fun stuff.
Merkel's Law: Wisdom from the Woman Who Led the Free World, Melissa Eddy. This book will be released August 20, but I've heard a little about it from a friend who is doing the index.
