Suggested reading sent in from friends, and if you look closely a few from some of my respected professors.

"Persian Fire" by Tom Holland, about the Persian point of view of the battle featured in '300'
"The Invisible Cure" by Helen Epstein, book about HIV/AIDS epidemic and the race for the cure
"Making Race and Nation" by Anthony Marx, book about the Apartheid in South Africa with a comparative perspective

"Talons of the Eagle" by Peter Smith, US and Latin American relations
"the Mystery of Capital" by Hernando De Soto, economic development

Now of course the chances of me really reading all of these this summer is slim, plus i am supplementing the list with a few of my own titles. I will let everyone know on here as I finish one and move on to the next. Ok.. actually chances are I will be reading 2 or 3 at the minimum at any given time, but eh... that's alright.

Best Love and Wishes.... only 9 more days!
