Default OT.....on books...

I say it is a cost cutting move but really I just wanted to change things a
bit and I got rid of cable TV.

All my news now come from the net ad I have found the library to be great
source of old movies and I have started to read again.

Some interesting books have been:

"A Peoples History of American Empire" by Howard Zinn...when you read
something by Zinn you truly understand that history is written by the
victors. This book should be required reading in any High School History
call and besides, it is illustrated comic book style and it is a quick and
enlightening read....

Another book was:

"1491" by Charles Mann. do the double N's at the end of each name mean
anything? It is a description of the north and south American continents
the day before the white man landed...the research is excellent, the foot
notes are meticulous...and excellent read. I highly recommend you to read it
Joe...

....special thanks to Rdean for keeping me alive in New Orleans....
