Kim Jong Il Books On Amazon!? Now I've Seen Everything!!

[BayCityProgressive]

So, I am a pretty avid reader and love history and political books. I was searching for some books on the Korean war and also the strange cult of personality that surrounded Kim Il Sung and his son and I find this on Amazon!

I guess I have always pictured this guy as being so nuts that I can't really fathom him sitting down and writing a book! I have definately seen it all now! Is this guy actually supposed to be intelligent? I thought he was supposed to be pretty dim and selfish? Perhaps he gives dieting tips and movie plots away in this gripping tell all?:sarcasm:

2. LMAO!

I think I will pass. First of all, I don't care what he has to say. Second of all, I want a Carribean vacation this year but Gitmo wasn't what i had in mind!

3. 68 pages makes a book? You can even get his other tome (54 pages) in a 2for1 deal.

Well, brevity can be a selling point.

4. Don't offend the

Dear Leader. His words of wisdom don't need more than 58 pages!:)

In all seriousness though..I am surprised anyone in the US published it to be honest..or that the government allowed it..Isn't this akin to Amenidijad (sp?) or Hussein putting out a book??

7. I actually used to save them and tape them to my office wall. Charlie Cook, the political oddsmaker

came in one day and read them all. He doesn't take Kim Jong "every woman's man" Il very seriously!

I've still got them somewhere.
