Light Holiday Reading

My holiday reading list:

Guns, Germs and Steel: When I kept talking about American Theocracy (oil panic, crazy debt, crazy Christians) everyone kept thinking I was talking about this book. So I got a copy. I want to read it before we get the PBS special which I hope is available on DVD.

Collapse: How Societies Choose to Succeed or Fail (by the author of Guns, Germs and Steel)

The Plan by Rahm Emanuel et al: Everybody’s favorite trashmouth Israeli-American ex-premier danseur Chicagoite has put together a treatise on his vision for the Dems.

Iraq Study Group Report: I feel like it is required reading if I’m going to be sufficiently informed.

United States v George W. Bush et al: Former federal prosecutor Elizabeth de la Vega’s hyopthetical indictment and hearings against the whole gang.

Ya know, light holiday reading.

    Guns, Germs and Steel is definitely a good book. The PBS special is good, except for the last half of the last show. It gets kind of maudlin toward the end as he tries to think of a moral, positive way to end it.

    Collapse is interesting, but kind of boring once you get through the first few chapters, more of the same through the rest of the book. Let me know what you think once you get through it.
