I really, really, really need to update the list I started of things I've read. Do I really? Will it be of any interest to me later at all? Probably not. I guess one good reason to get it done is so that I don't read anything twice, which I see as a waste of time. I will, and have, read things more than once though. Take for instance the book I just breezed through in audio format by Dennis Miller, The Rant Zone. I am going to have to read this one again, I mean read as opposed to listen to. Nobody has scanned it yet, so I've got it on hold at the library and I'll scan it and read it on the Clie when it comes in.

This guy is hilarious!!! I thought it was going to be just another liberal bashing by a conservative throwing accusations and innuendos around as if they were gospel and spelled the end of life as we know it. That's the way most of these political books are throw.... er, put together that I've drudged through, by both 'liberals' and 'conservatives'. This guy is just as good, if not better than Bill Mahr. In fact the only difference between them is the language. Dennis Miller even discusses his use of vulgarities, and has a discourse devoted entirely to the word 'fuck'. He discusses all kinds of things, and his brilliance is evident in his enthusiastic diatribes. (I just had to use that word)

Before that I was listening to The Days of the French Revolution by Christopher Hibbert. Very good book, although I probably didn't understand half of what was going on. I learned enough though to make further reading on the subject more interesting. If you want to know all the important things that happened during the French revolution, the things you will remember like the beheading of Marie Antoinette and the coming to power of Napoleon, not to mention the daily beheadings by guillotine of hundreds, then this is the book you should read.

Damn, that sounds like something you'd see on the Amazon site. Anyway, now it's another historical work by Paul Johnson called The Renaissance : A Short History. I really need to get some stuff on my Nomad that will help me with the Western Civ course I'll be taking when I start classes in August. Maybe I'll do that tonight. I just finished scanning a Phyllis Schlafly book called Feminist Fantasies, the author and activist Ann Coulter talks about in Slander... well, to say talk about is an understatement. Ms Coulter has her head so far up this woman's ass that you have no problem believing she lives for the moment when she can have her face buried between Ms Schlafly's legs. It's almost as bad as the adoration Celine Dion heaps on poor Barbara Streisand.
