Title: Strange Reading Habits
Post by: DCEPTCN on August 29 2010, 06:17:51 PM
I seem to bounce back and forth between types of books that I read. I read Mark Levin's "Liberty And Tyranny" right after Peter Gilmore's "The Satanic Scriptures". Then I knocked out Glenn Beck's "Arguing With Idiots". Having recently enjoyed Jim Norton's "I Hate Your Guts" I needed my next book. Voila, here is my copy of David Limbaugh's (yes, Rush's brother) "Crimes Against Liberty". Holy shit, is this thing a barn-burner. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who even slightly dislikes Obama. It is a total calling-you-out-in-front-of-everyone-you-asshole indictment of our illustrious president Barry.

I'll wait for the movie. A few car chase scenes and explosions should make it more palatable.

A while back I actually had someone make the argument that movies are better than books because you actually see things rather than having to imagine them. I'm guessing his 'alone time' is disappointing.

I haven't read any books lately. Mostly legal documents, contracts etc...

The only things I have read in recent times are lots of magazines and the newspaper on Sundays.  I have read literally hundreds of books in grade school, the bulk of it science fiction.

Picked up Jim Norton's "Happy Endings: Tales Of A Meaty-Breasted Zilch" as well as Stephen King's "Under The Dome". The SK novel comes in at around 1100 pages which is great- I've always loved long books. It seems one really has time to feel like he knows the characters, but a tad heartbreaking when it it's over, as if you'd actually lost a close friend. At least that's how it feels to hyper-depressed people who read to escape their own dismal realities.

If so, opinions?

I have not.

I can't say as I have, but I've been eyeing a rather daunting tome on Washington.

Washington was a fascinating individual. Though not the most intelligent of the founding fathers (and in that group, this would not be a slight), from everything I have read (and\or heard) he was undeniably considered as THE leader by his peers. He also slept in a lot of different places, apparently.

I have been reading this.

Slow moving but very interesting.

Unfortunately, he wanted to expand government.

He set up a lot of the basic structures of our government and country from the finance system to manufacturing.

Well, it looks like he got his wish.

Do we have the largest and most expensive (federal or centralized) government in history? And I mean ANYWHERE. I've never looked it up, but I'm guessing that we do.

Not at all what was envisioned.

Now I'm reading George W. Bush's presidential memoirs, "Decision Points". The ol' boy has a sense of humor about himself, I can say that much.

Lu's Basic Toxicology
Handbook of Pollution Prevention
Solid Waste Engineering

Really, great reads...can't put them down, though I've thought about throwing them through a wall or out a window.
