Poll question: BOOK CLUB: Poll for March book
Edited on Mon Feb-07-05 02:34 PM by crispini
Here are the top three from the old nominations. We'll pick one of these for next month and we will also start fresh with new nominations for April.

1-- TaleWgnDg: "Crimes Against Nature" by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
who is an environmental attorney as well as an environmental activist. Kennedy gives fantastic insight and information about GWBush's environmental catastrophe. It's done with factual information backed up with sources, cites, and endnotes.

2-- Dem Bones Dem Bones: "Imperial Hubris" by Anonymous
About why the U.S. does not understand Osama bin Laden's motivations and why we will not succeed in establishing democracy in the tribal Islamic society of Afghanistan, or fare much better in Iraq.

3--Garrison Keillor's "Homegrown Democrat"

Since time's a-wasting, this will be a short poll. How about we end it on Friday, Feb. 11th, ok?

1. I think I'll try giving this one a shot.
I know I've been awol from the previous months discussions. I actually did read Thomas Franks' book, but I procrastinated long enough on it that the discussions were pretty much over by the time I had gotten around to reading it.

I really am going to try this time.:)

2. I find if I read a little bit and then go post something
Edited on Mon Feb-07-05 02:26 PM by crispini
it encourages me to read a little bit more. Something about the online/offline symmetry. Each one of these three is one that I would buy and never finish -- and the Franks book was the same -- and I was able to get all the way through it by doing that! :thumbsup:
