Everyone needs to go out and read "A People's History of the US" by Howard Zinn. If you haven't already. It's our history told from the perspective of the common man, slaves, indians. Basically from the POV of the 95% of the population that is not in charge. It will open your eyes, not to mention piss you off.

I don't know how big you're into graphic novels and stuff, but I always thought that a good, condensed equivalent to your "History" was Alex Ross' "Sam". Very powerful, gritty, and touching.

Books like these should make you want to do something at whatever meager level you can affect.
monet:
glad you enjoyed your book. YOu were definitely engrossed at the store.
