Waiting on Wednesday

Okay I have seen this meme, and this week I have one. On Monday I saw Who Owns the World reviewed at Reading at the Beach.

I was entranced by the review, excited by the book, and curious about who owns the world. So now I am waiting on it. It comes out January 29, 2010.

I think the line that sold me was "Queen Elizabeth II owns 1/6 of the entire land surface on earth (nearly 3 times the size of the U.S.)."
So check out the review (there's also a giveaway ending 1/17). OR if you miss that pre-order it like I did.
Thanks to Breaking the Spine for hosting Waiting on Wednesdays. 
And Bookshelf Monstrosity for helping me find the fun.
