What did I get with my 40% off?

GoodieBag Contents:
*Ugly Americans: The True Story of the Ivy League Cowboys Who Raided the Asian Markets for Millions - Ben Mezrich
*Eleanor Rigby - Douglas Coupland
novel by my favorite author about a lonely, middle-aged woman
*The Virtue of Selfishness - Ayn Rand
objectivism...
*Confessions of an Economic Hitman - John Perkins
extorting poor developing countries by giving them enormous loans and then channelling that money into our corporations. We also end up controlling their militaries and natural resources, nyah.
*Mountains Beyond Mountains - Tracy Kidder
Fabulous Harvard trained doctor who decided he wanted to travel all over the world and cure infectious diseases...so that's cool.

I have been looking forward to the Perkins for about a year but I think 'Ugly Americans' will be a good plane read for this evening!

Coming back to Oakland tonight, getting some much missed affection and then early early work tomorrow. I wonder if I will get promoted??
