Jerry@GoodReads
On my GoodReads account, you can see how erudite and well-read I am. I’ve been using GoodReads lately to track the books I’m reading and want to read. I’m not yet sure how useful it is, however, it does seem useful to discuss books with other readers. I’ve added it to my Keep in touch section below the blogroll, and I’ve also added a link to recent books across the top of this section of Mimsy.

Getting rid of capitol cities is a great reform idea. Capitols concentrate partisans of big government in one place. I only have to look south to Austin to see the dangers of government concentrated in one place.
