I try to vary the things that I read. No, it doesn't mean I read the latest best seller, but with my focus so much on non-fiction, I try to remind myself that reading good fiction can be fun. However, this hasn't really been my pattern for a while now. 

Recently, I've read Naomi Klein's books, No Logo and The Shock Doctrine. Both are quite good, though, there are some aspects of No Logo that are somewhat dated. The fact that Borders went out of business does indicate that major corporations and their constant creation of brands do have limits. Now, their downfall can be argued to either bad business practice or customer dissatisfaction, or both, but that requires a more in-depth examination of the economy. Both books are very good and I would recommend that anyone read them, but there are some things that she writes that just don't make sense. I don't see a mass resistance, let alone an organized one, rising up to challenge corporate power. I don't think Obama is that much different than the Presidents before him. In a two party system, such as practiced in the US, it seems that both parties take turns feeding at the troughs, paid for by the American public. However, I don't always agree with everything that writers such as her put into words. I do agree with many other things in the book and though it may seem that she is preaching to the converted, both books should be read and discussed with as many people as possible. Just remember to remain critical in reaching your own analysis.
