I have set out on an ambitious reading program this summer. So far i have read America Alone by Mark Stein, which presents the startling argument that decreased birthrates and increased immigration will bring the end of Europe. I have also read Empire by Niall Ferguson as a refresher of my knowledge of the British Empire's rise and fall.
Currently I am ploughing through William Shrier's classic The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich which I plan on finishing soon. Once I am through with that monster I will have a definite foundation stone for further studies in 20th century history, Hurray! But it doesn't stop there. I plan on reading Barack Obama's The Audacity of Hope, and Bill O'Reilley's Culture Warrior, which I'm sure will seem like easy reading compared to The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich! Once I'm through with this ambitious reading program I will set my sights on learning French and establishing an effective workout routine to counter all the cafeteria food I will be eating this fall!
