Comments on Reading Tonight

Saadia Pekkanen's Picking Winners was pretty interesting and convinced me that the type of state favoring of industries and subsidization of industries that occurs in japan would be impossible here due to the way political appropriation of money is actioned here.

and because no one wants to stop supporting non-competitive industry here.

watch out, that Bujold's gotta knife!

POTTERY SLAM! Let's set the damn thing up already!

I watched Susan Jacoby speak on that books channel (is it CSPAN?)and some of what she had to say was fairly interesting. I have the book but haven't gotten very far in it yet, it seems like the topic goes with another book that's just out, "True Enough" by Farhad Manjoo.

And both books seem particularly interesting to read in light of all that is going on in politics this year. (and with Britney Spears for that matter...)

I hear that Ursula K. LeGuin is visiting soon for readings.

That will be fun!

(hint - she won't let the guys talk, she's been doing that for about 30 years now, it's not going to change, so get used to it and let ECB talk instead)
