I chose the to complete The Minor Level
You’ve taken a couple classes in World Citizenship and decide to go ahead and get the minor. After all, you’ll learn more stuff and you can still have a practical major! For this level, you need to commit to three books, from at least two different categories.
My proposed reading list:
- The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make A Big Difference (Sociology)
- The Wal-Mart Effect (Economics)
- Gonzo: The Life Of Hunter S. Thompson (Biography/Culture)

Your selections look good-welcome to the challenge! :)
I'm glad you're joining in on this one, Joanne! I'm looking forward to what you think of the books.
I read The Tipping Point earlier this year, but I still haven't reviewed it. I thought it was interesting, for sure, but I'm not entirely certain if I agree with all his claims. I'm looking forward to reading what you think!
