Booktv recently visited capitol hill to ask members of congress what theyre reading this summer. Well, right now im finishing frank by barney frank his autobiography. Its a really interesting book because it gives you not only a little look at his career, but you know, congress back when it worked [laughter] a little better than maybe now. And just some of the, you know, highlights of some of the major legislation he worked on and some of the experiences he went through. Especially relevant for someone who always looked up to barney as someone whos probably the smartest and wittiest, you know, member of congress i remember watching. And its a really fascinating read. So im just finishing that one up. I just started one called factory man which is about the Bassett Furniture company or group, i forget what it is, but its, essentially, a company that builds furniture here in the United States and despite all the challenges with globalization and companies all trying to send construction over to china because its cheaper they wanted to keep building things in america. And they wanted to keep providing wages for the people who worked for them and support their families. And its a big challenge, and i really give them a lot of credit. Im a Small Business owner, ive been since i had hair since i was 27 for 28 years and really, i find a lot of value into what they did and i think more businesses should look at that. So im reading that book. Im about to read a book that i bought as a hard book and also downloaded, reign of error by diane iran slip, i serve on the education and Work Force Committee and, you know, one of the things that i think weve seen a lot of attacks on Public Education. Theres a lot of things around the country especially in wisconsin trying to expand tax bierfunded vouchers which essentially, destroyed public schools. Im a product of public schools, and i think most people are products of public schools, and she really puts out some innovative ideas about how to take Public Education forward so we dont have these attacks that try to privatize it and make it so it goes to a profitable center rather than something that provides education for people. And then the final book im reading is more for fun. I used to do magic thats how i paid for college strong magic, the author lives in the d. C. Area and its about doing magic and how to be a better performer.
