Google Book Links (mostly)   THIS book is amazing — read the first 50 pages at google books and have plowed through over half of its 400+ pages in just a few days ... while reading Walter Lippman online (in a couple of places actually) and In The Shadow of War (shown below). I picked up The Bodhran Makers on a tip from Charles Pierce's blog at Esquire. It's an Irish tale about a reactionary priest and his run-in with some Celtic party-hounds. (The bodhran is a traditional Irish drum.) Sounds like fun. A couple of years back Pierce brought us Idiot America, an entertaining and impressively researched look at our civil society's depressingly advanced state of disintegration ... what's left of it anyway. He tipped me off to R.L. Ketcham's 700+ page brick of a biography on James "Constitution-Mack-Daddy" Madison. Illuminations through deep time. Jim Rickards and his bestselling Currency Wars gave me the tip on The Collapse of Complex Societies. They only have one copy at the library and I'm currently 13th in line. I was 25th a week or so ago so ... it'll be a while before "we" get to dig into that one. Never did read Heart of Darkness, but since The Secret Agent was such a thoroughly "simple" and forward-looking tome I've decided to catch up on Mr. "Korzeniowski's" adopted tongue. Andrew Bacevich's work is the most honest and balanced appraisal of US Foreign Policy available today. He tipped me off to In The Shadow of War. & James Baldwin is still the greatest 21C American writer, from the grave ... bitchez. What are you reading?
