Douglas A. Blackmon: Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II
Searing story of forced labor and economic servitude in the antebellum American south.
Kris Holloway: Monique and the Mango Rains: Two Years with a Midwife in Mali
Midwifery in West Africa. Lovely.
Sloane Crosley: I Was Told There'd Be Cake
Because I desperately need to laugh.
Jeannette Walls: The Glass Castle
Not sure I can take another memoir of extreme family dysfunction, but everyone raves.
Susan Rebecca White: Bound South: A Novel
Above average chick lit about growing up in Atlanta
Sarah Vowell: Assassination Vacation
Kooky, quirky, all those adjectives still don't do justice to Sarah Vowell's historically accurate but hysterically funny look at three Presidential assassinations as she tours historical sites commemorating them.
Sue Miller: The Senator's Wife (Vintage Contemporaries)
Resigned but cuckolded wife of a philandering senator befriends newly married Meri.
Geraldine Brooks: People of the Book: A Novel
Fictionalized account of the life, times and survival of The Sarajevo Haggadah, a treasured illuminated manuscript. Tons of fun and really rips along.
Barbara Kingsolver: Prodigal Summer
In this one she weaves all her Animal Vegetable Miracle ideas into fiction. Fun, but really rather preachy.
Convenient that this video fails to give any detail on what these nefarious regulations would be. It's just a lot of hand-waving saying "Trust us...they are bad!" I did not see them interviewing anyone on the other side of these regulations, thus this piece calling itself "news" is laughable.
For example, simply having someone from the Natural Resource Defense Council simply state that something is going to undermine the Endangered Species Act is meaningless. You don't think this guy has a bias or agenda for his cause given the name of the organization he represents? What he calls undermining could be the return of common sense to the application of the Act, but without any details - something this left-wing Bush hit piece we are so used to by now - does not give us. Also, all these left-wing groups who are up in arms over Bush passing midnight regulations, I wonder if they had any issue with Clinton doing the same? The economist they interviewed did not that Dubya was able to undo only three percent of Clinton's regulations. I find that concerning. Bottom line, this is not news or anything to be alarmed about. Depending on who is in the White House and you outlook, it is simply business as usual in Washington.
