Two books from a while ago.

I finished the Communist Manifesto in March but am just posting it now. To be honest, I don't really remember much of it. I do remember that while Marx was a radical, he was not insane. Other than that it was a very short read with lofty language (ironically though, because it was meant to represent and speak for the common man).

The second book was also assigned for my humanities class. It is called A Small Place by Jamaica Kincaid. It is comprised of four related "essays" or prose even that discuss Antigua. You can tell how furious the author is by her sarcastic and often scathing remarks about the British, tourists, slavery or corrupt government. I enjoyed reading this book very much. I recommend it as a short but powerful read.
