Is it a coincidence that the editorial interns are hot??

[HarryNRubin]

i have summer reading for school, so i will be reading "How to Read Literature Like a Professor" by Thomas C. Foster, "Catch 22" by Joseph Heller, and "1984" by George Orwell, though i have many others to choose from as well. I hope i can get through them!

Right now I'm reading Obama's book "Dreams from my Father". Pretty good so far. I'm also thinking about reading Richard Engel's "War Journal" since I really found the documentary he did for MSNBC on the Iraq War to be very informative.

Its nice to see the folks "behind" the scenes at Fora.

I recommend "the prize" by daniel yergin, which I am sure many have already read... umm

and for the summer I am reading The complete History of China by JAG Roberts. 473 pages of historical relevance about a culture and a country that most Americans have no clue about.

I visited Shanghai this year and can't wait to return.

Many believe the 21st century political challenge could very well be the balkanization of central asia.

Im reading "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" by Richard Feynman and Ralph Leighton(contributor)
