I came home from work today and found this waiting for me on the porch. This is the 2nd gift from my friend Unokhan in Baton Rouge. A couple of week
s before he sent me a Caroline Herring CD titled Lantana. I had never heard of her before but she's 
terrific and I play it often..I'm knee deep in a good book right now, but as soon as I finish it I'm starting on People's History of the United States. It's a big one so it will take me a while, but think I'm going to really enjoy this. I love American History and this book starts in 1492 and ends up with us bent over a desk and being screwed by George W. Bush...well, maybe not exactly li
ke that, but you get the drift..

My son the history buff has that book. He really enjoys it.
If ever you are short of History we have loads to spare, not all good though, lol
I remember the last gift I got in the mail. It came from some strange lady in Texas. It's always nice to be thought of.
I wonder which version of US history it will be.
You seriously make me wish I had time to pleasure read.
I totally dig up on reading about any kind of history.... So you may actually win this one that's coming up.
Book on tape/CD is always better with me since I seem to be driving alllll the time.
I look forward to your review. I just placed my order with Amazon for the first 2 James Lee Burke books.
I hope I like them even 1/2 as much as you do. They is no greater pleasure than a good read. Well almost no greater pleasure...
That is an awesome surprise! I am happy when I get monthly bills in my mail.

Nice! Yay for you!
glad 2 know ya
I read that some years before but if Zinn has added thoughts on the current administration I need to read it again!
Oh yay, Howard Zinn! That's history that should be taught in schools instead of that crap they put in the textbooks. You'll love it.
