Ello! Soo...I've been looking around for a good list of some books on poverty in case you want to learn more... I finally found a good list so I'll put it here and then put the link on the bottom :) Enjoy!
Nickel And Dimed: On (Not) Getting By In America - Barbara Ehrenreich
The Glass Castle - Jeannette Walls
Angela's Ashes - Frank McCourt
The End Of Poverty - Jeffrey D. Sachs
Banker To The Poor: Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World - Muhammad Yunus
The Grapes Of Wrath - John Steinbeck
The Bottom Billion: Why The Poorest Countries Are Failing And What Can Be Done About It - Paul Collier
The Good Earth (House Of Earth #1) - Pearl S. Buck
Three Cups of Tea - Greg Mortenson
The Life You Can Save - Peter Singer
Those are only the top 10 but go to THIS LINK to see the other 559 books :) It's good to know that that many authors want to make a difference.
While I was writing this I realized my friend Kristian (Hey_You!) posted the same list.... Click on the link I posted (The Hey_you! thing) to check out her blog too :)
Tschüs! (Yes... I speak a little German :D )
