A speaker recommends a book written by someone else.

β€œAnd I think that that book, Lights Out, which Chronicles of the Climate Change, ought to be required reading. Never been in school in the country. It won't be because they don't want to offend you. But it should be. Anybody who's not read, Lights Out. You should buy it and read it.”

Why: It chronicles the changes and decline of General Electric and should be required reading.
