No, I found myself skipping to Wikipedia. It was a wonderful education .

I lived through it, being 4 years younger than Ferguson. I did skim the long sports parts and maybe some of the radical happenings in Newark and at Columbia because they became tedious. I still respected what Auster did. I just didn't have the patience. I think it is a whole new experience to research these incidents and even for me, living through them, it is a whole new world of facts and info.

I sometimes skim through the sports parts.

If you didn't live through it it's even more important for you to familiarize yourself with the important historical events of those decades. They are extremely relevant to living in our current era.
Jody
Not at all. I love reading about the era and love how realistic and detailed it is. And I definitely have no desire what's so ever to skip parts.

I lived through those decades and think it is amazing that my High School friend in Hammond, Indiana (https://naspa10legacy.wordpress.com/2...) had a pivotal part following that Kent State conflict!
