Eduardo Galeano and Noam Chomsky!

Hugo Chavez seems to have a good taste of reading. He made an advertisment for Noam Chomsky´s book: Hegemony or survival: America´s Quest for Global Dominance at a UN summit A few years ago.

At the recent Latin America summit, he gave Barack Hussien, Eduardo Galeano´s book - Las venas abiertas de America Latina-open veins of Latin America:Five centuries of the pillage of a continent.

I am reading both books right now and feel that Hugo has contributed to the avalanche increase of new readers across the globe.

Leaders could make a difference and I hope that Hussien would be able to learn something from his reading of Eduardo. Barack Hussien himself likes the novel Netherland by Joseph O,Neills at the moment.

For my part, I am still in a state of bewilderment and have not been able to put myself together after the South American Journey. I feel a bit lost and take a day at a time.
