Me too! I will never be able to read all of the books on my list. I'd have to read 24/7.

On the subject of consumerism, I was also fascinated by The Walmart Effect and The Paradox of Choice.

The Walmart Effect was particularly fascinating to me - how one man's noble goal (to make quality products accessible to all consumers) inadvertently led to the growth of an empire that has essentially dictated the poor-quality of countless numbers of products that are now all but disposable.
