Think, Non Fiction

I am on a quest to purge junk TV, radio, literature and Internet from my mental space. As my detox, I read "Think" by Lisa Bloom. She is not Judy's sister but the daughter of Gloria Allred and a well known journalist in her own right. Lisa discusses the problem of young women not knowing where Mexico City is but easily knowing how many times Lindsey has been arrested. Ms. Bloom outlines the problem and then gives a solution, which is to READ! Here is her recommended Non- Fiction reading list.
More to come, Enjoy!
