I think the media has done a decent job of explaining why people stayed (I distinctly rememeber watching CNN as they talked to people who chose to stay). There is a lot going on but it's easy to follow.<br /><br />@Bisi-Thank you for stopping by and for the kind words :) I think Efrain's Secret is a must-read. I'm no expert, but the author's voice seemed to be pretty accurate in terms of what a guy thinks/does.<br /><br />@Maggie-I'm sure you would like this one. I felt the same way and this book not only made me want to push myself harder but it made me realize that I've got some things going for me. I wish the opportunities were equal.

I can definitely sympathize with the not-being-able-to-afford-Ivy-League thing, but after just reading your review I feel like my circumstances are pretty good, considering. =) Efrain's story really intrigues me!

But hooray for mentions of Hurricane Katrina, particularly why people stayed - that's the question I've probably had to answer the most, as a Louisiana native.Jennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
