Two good books

I don’t want you guys to think I hate every book I read. I just finished (and enjoyed) End This Depression Now ( https://www.goodreads.com/…/13517594-end-this-depression-now ) and Talking Back Talking Black ( https://www.goodreads.com/…/33376054-talking-back-talking-b… )

End This Depression Now paints a more schizmatic picture of American economists than I think is true (who cares about “Salt Water” versus “Fresh Water” any more?) and is silly in its eurokepticism, but Krugman makes a good point for government spending during a recession, and he is funny while he does it.

Talking Back Talking Black was great. I listen to McWhorter’s podcast so he was very much preaching to the choir with me, but if I’d read this book back in college it would have blown my freakin mind. I wish he’d talked more about the grammar and usage rules of Black English, but that wasn’t the point of his book. The point was that Black English is something I ought to study. So I guess I’m going to get right on that
