I'm a really dedicated bookworm; here are some good books.
These have had a major impact on my life in the past year or so, so I highly recommend them:
Out of the Class Closet: Lesbians Speak ... by Julia Penelope (Editor)
White Oleander ... by Janet Fitch
Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal ... by Eric Schlosser
Being America: Liberty, Commerce, and Violence in an American World ... by Jedediah Purdy
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings ... by Maya Angelou
Here are links for some of my favorite authors... (in no particular order)
