I should probably have skipped reading The Soiling of Old Glory during the RNC – politics all day and then a book about busing, race and class made for a pretty depressing week. The book was good, it was just really bad timing. I should have read it a month ago, before the ugly election politics really got going.
Read it but wait til next year, unless you need to get fired up about race and class issues. Then this would probably help you right along.
