| Re: What Are You Reading? I am rereading "The Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan. SciFi, ride or die!! haha. i know im a loser. here's the link: Amazon.com: The Wheel of Time (Boxed Set #1): Robert Jordan: Books An epic tale. A little more refined and mature than Tolkien. I always enjoy a cast of characters being taken out of their element, and shown that they can be bigger and more important than they ever thought they would have been.

Here's another good book that has multi-perspective elements: A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. it's a little more graphic and harsher than The Wheel of Time but a great story nevertheless.

I take it Frank makes the case that issues like abortion have distracted ordinary Americans from voting their economic interest. They have been deceived into thinking that social issues are more important than financial ones. But, couldn't one also make the case that the Democratic Party has decided that abortion, homosexual rights, etc are more important to them than the economic interests of Middle America? It seems to me that he is letting one side off of the hook too easily. But, you've read the book so maybe you can help. Isn't it a bit unrealistic to expect our proverbial 'Kansan' to pretend that abortion is inconsequential when the Democrats have been telling us for 30 years how consequential it is? Does the author deal with this at all?

| Re: What Are You Reading? Amazon: 1421 - The Year China Discovered America Only halfway through it, but the author presents some really unique research. His premise may be faulty, but it's an intriguing read nonetheless. |

| Re: What Are You Reading? The Caves of Perigord by Martin Walker. I was at the library right before closing, grabbed the coolest looking book (I judged a book by its cover) and had to run out -- been pretty happy with it.
