<p>The only book I’ve even heard of out of those is The World is Flat.</p>

3

<p>Audacity of Hope was pretty interesting, though a bit difficult to get through (Obama used some pretty big words).</p>

<p>Fast Food Nation was really good. I definitely recommend that one.</p>

4

<p>The world is flat is REALLY good. That book would be useful for a lot of subjects!
Also fast food nation is good.</p>

5

<p>i heard fast food nation is a good book.</p>

6

<p>Angela’s Ashes
Fast Food Nation
The World Is Flat</p>

<p>That’s what I would choose.</p>

7

<p>Fast Food Nation isn’t exactly the most fun book to read, but it’s pretty interesting :slight_smile: Makes you look at fast food a little different and forces you to think about the fast food you’re eating.</p>

<p>I heard from my English teacher that Angela’s Ashes is really sad but a good memoir; I haven’t read it though.</p>

8

<p>The Glass Castle is really good and easy to read. I’d recommend it.</p>

9

<p>Fast Food Nation… Read it in AP English, it was interesting but boring.
The Wal-Mart Effect… I hate Wal Mart.
The Glass Castle… Only because it is the only one that sounds interesting.</p>

10

<p>I read The Tipping Point, and my teacher also recommended The World is Flat.</p>

11

<p>I forgot to mention one, Freakonomics. I’ve started it already, it’s VERY interesting</p>

<p>I’ll probably go with the world is flat after, then angela’s ashes. Thanks everyone!</p>

12

<p>Definitely read Freakonomics. It’s the best non-literature book I’ve ever read.</p>

13

<p>The Glass castle and blink are great. And although I haven’t read nickel and dimed, I did read another book for my statistics class called A Mathematician reads the newspaper. I loved it, and it was a quick read as well.
But most of the books on this list really aren’t that difficult, maybe you should challenge yourself and read something a bit more intense. Crime and Punishment is a great read, along with invisible cities.</p>

<p>Good luck :)</p>
