The Hungry Years, a Narrative History of the Great Depression, By T.H. Watkins. I knew things were bad, but not this bad. That such things could occur in the U.S. Every American should read this.

Do draft dodgers have reunions? And if so what do they talk about?

Baudolino by Umberto Eco. I read the Name of the Rose years ago, and have a copy of Foucault's Pendulum floating around here somewhere. Very interesting author.
Have you read brave new world???
I read that last year, by Aldous Huxley, and his works(not just that one) are amongst the most important pieces of writing I've read in my life.....
Oh, and I just bought 1984 along with a few other Orwell books, so I can't wait to get into him too!!!! How is 1984 so far???

I have not read Brave New World.
1984 is very grave and depressing. The writing is very well, but it's hard to get over the content. It drones on, and is a slow moving book IMHO. I read it in high school, and I just kinda panic picked it for something to read to sooth the child for bedtime (she's 3ish.) There are may paralleisims to communist / socialist government.
