Dreams From my Father by Barack Obama

I only listened to half of this book. I found the first part interesting, but lost interest toward the middle, probably because I am not faced with the same issues of race as he is. Still it was an intriguing read, and Barack Obama's writing is so deeply reflective and intelligent. The beginning of the book was so interesting--his reflections on his white grandparents and how they came to live in Hawaii, his white mother involved with two men from the university and entirely different cultures, etc. But as interesting as I thought it was, I just got too bored and couldn't finish the rest of the book. Maybe someday.
