Top ten books

Richard Gideon had emailed me a few months ago with an idea that I thought would be nice to run in December. RG suggested that I post my top ten favorite books and ask my readers to submit their lists to the blog.

I am not much of a reader, mainly because I don't have time, but I have been able to list a few.

1. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
2. Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save the World! by Andrew Breitbart
3. Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
4. Cookbooks by Ina Garten, The Barefoot Contessa

And that is pretty much all I can list at the moment. I have many books I would like to read, like this one.

Follow the Money (2010) by Lynndee Kemmet. By the description, everyone in Mt. Lebanon needs to read it.

Follow the Money: A Citizens Guide to Local Government is a citizen’s primer on how to work with local officials on the heart and soul of government: the budget. The goal is collaboration, not confrontation, over how public money is being spent. Too often there’s a clash between citizens and local officials at the witching hour of budget adoption.

Our witching hour is tomorrow night.

Richard Gideon's list follows:
