Looking at the bestsellers in the US, I'm often amazed/impressed with how, seemingly, engaged people are with current issues. Recently ObamaCare was a big topic in the top ten, now we have Control - a look at gun laws - at the top of the charts. Further down, we've still got Lean In featuring in the top ten. A colleague gave me a little overview of this when I saw she was reading it recently. The gist, as far as I understand it, is that it's simple enough to be a mouthy feminist, provided you work for Google. That's about right, yes? Finally, I've got to say, I'm loving items 9 and 10 on the list - only one is tongue-in-cheek. I'll let you decide which one is straight.
