No need to have a "Books Bought" list as there will be no book buying this year. One thing I am doing that I thought about doing last year is writing a review as I finish each book. I wrote one for the retirement book I read last year. I posted it on Amazon and my goodreads.com page. I may also make a few comments for each book here as I record its completion. I'll just note a few things that I wanted to achieve with the book.
Books Read in 2011:
1. The Road to Serfdom - 9Jan
I bought this book right after Obama was elected. I needed to delve a little more deeply into my political ideology in the face of an administration that is the anti-thesis of my political view point. I almost stopped reading about half way through the book. I'm glad I kept at it. The justification for my position is much stronger having read Hayek's argument. There are a couple of processes in action now that have the same potential for denying us freedom as the economic control discussed in this book. Understanding the dynamic processes inherent in something as apparently static as political systems is an important take away from this book as well.
