I’ve been reading The Dark Side by Jane Mayer and I can only say that it’s most depressing. I read twenty or thirty pages and then I have to take a break and read something light. How do such cretins and thoroughly evil men come into power? The book reveals the president to be a naïve buffoon, surrounded by cold and calculating evil-doers. Fiction? I wish. You should read it and see for yourself.
You should add "Deer Hunting with Jesus" by Joe Bageant to your list. Not only will you be appalled by the behavior of our leaders but by the uninformed people who continually vote to keep them in office.
ReplyDeleteJoe's book has been read. And it was a good one. I wish I could say it was eye opening...
