I have some shiny new Amazon.com gift certificates that I received at Christmas, and I am in the market for some books. Since I haven't been keeping up with what is good lately, I thought I would ask you people. I am now mostly reading current affairs debates, such things as Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser and The Wedge of Truth by Phillip Johnson (a creationist's argument for intelligent design). Anything that takes modern issues and intelligently discusses them. I thought that some of the people here may also be reading this sort of stuff, and may be more up-to-date in their knowledge of what is good. Any ideas?
