I need to buy another book to qualify for free shipping on Amazon

preferably something non-fiction and fairly current

and no, I'm not interested in "Flex Ability: A Story of Strength and Survival"

Anything by Isaac Asimov

The robot series or the foundation series are classics

Excellent recommendation. Have you read anything else by AR, like The Fountainhead?

Check out a book called 'The Bible'.

If you're into classic fairy tales, this one is for you.

Very good book, but don't see how it relates to Obama other than seeming to be the opposite of what he's doing..

I think he's talking about the book showing what could happen if the government oversteps it's role and ruins the economy as a result, which would make President Obama something like the equivalent of Wesley Mouch.

It is a largely autobiographical work that was based on the spontaneous road trips of Kerouac and his friends across mid-century America. It is often considered a defining work of the postwar Beat Generation that was inspired by jazz, poetry, and drug experiences.
