The nonfiction books I remember reading include The Diary of Anne Frank, Fast Food Nation, and All But My Life. I remember the line "Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart," from The Diary of Anne Frank, and the idea that corporations end up doing whatever they can to make as much money as possible, such as allowing terrible working conditions in meat plants and not allowing workers to unionize, from Fast Food Nation. Fast Food Nation had the imparted on me the philosophy that one shouldn't exploit others for their own personal gain. If I ever ran or formed a company, I would hope that I would treat my workers decently, or at least give them decent working conditions and allow them to unionize. I don't consider myself exploitive at the moment, and I hope don't start, but to use the cliché, power corrupts.
