Books:
I highly recommend Charles Grodin's It Would Be So Nice If You Weren't Here. And why haven't you read Jonathon Franzen's The Corrections yet? Have you ever heard anyone say they didn't like it? And of course The Tipping Point. The fact that there are people in this world who aren't completely fascinated by The Tipping Point is almost as fascinating as The Tipping Point itself. Oh yeah, and The Founding Brothers. Please get a copy of this book and at least read the first chapter about Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. I am confident that anyone would enjoy it.
