WHOA

My Reading List (in no particular order for now)
-Natural Capitalism by Paul Hawken
-Sustainable Energy: Without the Hot Air by David MacKay (ONLINE)
-Break Through by Michael Shellenberger & Ted Nordhaus
-Strategy for Sustainability: A Business Manifesto by Adam Werbach
-Hacia una gestion integral del agua en Mexico de Cecilia Tortajada
-Blowback Trilogy by Chalmers Johnson
-Brittle Power by Amory Lovins
-Beyond Growth: The Economics of Sustainable Development by Herman Daly

--------
I'm getting back into the groove of reading...I think for now, to keep getting motivated to do reviews is to read more nonfiction books, instead of fiction. I enjoy reading fiction, don't get me wrong, but literary analysis is not really my thing because I feel ultimately that it's kind of a waste of time. What I usually get out of fiction is enjoying myself in a different place, immersing myself in the writer's style, picking up some expressive thoughts, and just getting a better understanding of the human experience. But I don't really want to pick apart how the book was put together, like character development and plot angles...I want to pick apart arguments and read thought-provoking stuff, as well as acquire more knowledge of my interests.
