The Queue
There are times when I read more books and times when I read fewer books. For the past couple of months, I've been experiencing one of the latter periods. I never hate books, sometimes I just have little interest in reading them. That said, here is the present queue:

Natan Sharansky, The Case For Democracy: The Power of Freedom to Overcome Tyranny and Terror ***on hold***
Gerald Green, The Last Angry Man ***in progress***
Sarah Vowell, Radio On: A Listener's Diary
Jung Chang & Jon Halliday, Mao: The Unknown Story
Robert Soderstrom, The Big House: Fielding H. Yost and the Building of Michigan Stadium

The Goldbricker gave me two off-list books, Mao and The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Empire, as Christmas presents. I can only assume that my father thinks I am soft on Communism. Tell me, gang, am I soft on Communism?

After finishing this non-fiction heavy group, I am thinking of reading C.S. Lewis's entire The Chronicles of Narnia. I've never read all the books, and the ones I have read I read in fifth grade.

Bog, the Alito hearings were hilarious last week. Senators Kennedy, Leahy, and Biden really should consider some sort of road show. I was honestly surprised that none of them just asked directly, "Judge Alito, why do you hate women and African-Americans?" Low politics, but high comedy.
