Just finished 'A Fighting Chance.' Anyone else read it?

[ChangeUp106]

I bought the book last Saturday. About halfway through I thought it was a decent read but I knew I'd grade it lesser than "decent" if it wasn't someone I was interested in like Warren.

But then around the halfway point, maybe a little before, maybe a little after, damn did it get good. I've read a fair amount (especially for a 24 year old in the age of iPhones and the Internet) and I've never been as inspired and moved reading a book. It was angering, sad (talking about her golden dying hit home ), sometimes funny, but it gave me hope. Real hope that came from real situations and real battles. I feel like I should go out and volunteer or even run for office (something I've somewhat/kind of kept in the back of my mind for when I'm older). It was really good.

I know 2016 can be a sensitive topic around here and I know it's unlikely she will run. We need her though. She truly is a fighter for us "average" Americans and I think a Warren 2016 campaign would make Obama's '08 run look as exciting as a Romney speech. She could lead this country out of the hell hole it's going down.

1. I agree as I also found it quite inspiring.

If she runs, she has my vote. If not, then I hope Bernie Sanders holds to his pledge to run. Either one of those 2 would garner my support and my vote.

2. don`t lose that passion. eom

We need her to run. The thought of hillary makes me very worried.

3. Working through it on audiobook

Which has the added advantage of Warren reading it herself.

Great stuff.

I love how she emphasizes the need to fight, fight, fight.

4. I'm about halfway through right now.

Unfortunately, I'm working 2 jobs right now so reading is a luxury at the moment. But so far, I just love the book and I like her even more than I did before, if that's possible.

5. In in the middle of Chapter 4 right now

I have lots of stuff going on so I have to read when I can.

6. I finished some time ago.

I love her story about Larry Summers and the Insiders -- page 106.

She also told interesting stories about Geithner.

I'm solidly Elizabeth Warren for 2016. But I like Sanders if Elizabeth Warren does not run. I think there is a good chance she will run if she feels support from us.

9. K&R. Let's keep this going. Let's see how many DUers

10. I'm about 25 % through it and finding it both enlightening and encouraging, to say the least

EW is the one we've been waiting for.

11. I finally finished the book a few weeks ago

I had an electronic version which is harder on the eyes, but that was all I was able to get here in Korea. I need to buy my mom a birthday gift and have decided to give her a copy of Warren's book. Headed home in a week and will buy it at Powell's and hopefully be able to get it gift wrapped.
