I had to use my brain when I read this book - it required focus, for one who has only read fairly light literature since University. It made me very nostalgic for the generations of challenging, debating citizens. There was an energy and an optimism about standing up for principle. It seems that more of us were willing to experience a little (and sometimes, quite a lot) of discomfort to make our views heard. Are we too comfortable to resist the complacent but poisonous Right, now?
