"Wonderfully timely. This is the second book in a trilogy of Berman books on the subject of America's inescapable decline from cultural greatness. The funny thing about reading Berman is that, the older I get, the more challenging it is to read anything longer than a tumblr post. LOL FAV'D." Nov 25, 2011 06:36am

"I'm up to around page 200. It's a book I'd read faster if I didn't have so much required reading in my life, and if that required reading weren't also quite good and interesting. People complain about DFW's convoluted writing style, but I'm enjoying it. It's a perfect match for the subject matter. If you're considering reading this book but have felt intimidated by the length and negative reviews, heed the common adv" Nov 25, 2011 06:32am

add to my books
It's no Hunger Games, but Lord of the Flies is alright I guess. I mean, I know it's a classic, but the plot is distinctly lacking in so many ways, you feel like it should be updated for today's readers. For instance, there are no touchscreen interfac...more

Solid, enjoyable read stuffed with technocratic policy considerations. Conversational in much the same way My Life was. I think the most remarkable rhetorical theme in this book is Clinton's decision to label the GOP of the last 20 years as "Antigove...more

One of my favorite books I've read in years. If your tolerance for woo-woo pseudoscience is low, don't even bother picking this up. But if you have patience for compelling leaps of creative speculation presented as near-truths, then this is a great r...more
