a handful of books by bloggers, some of them even readers here.
Don Brockette’s America Falling, for instance. it’s fast paced and packed, and it comes at you like a prizefighter pummeling you with hard truths you might not be so willing to look at closely. I like it a lot and reread it from time to time to remind me who the enemy is.
And now Vman has written “A Trip of Goats”. I take it from his comments that this is a tease to a greater work to follow, and as that, he’s done a hell of a job.
I can’t tell you an awful lot about the book without revealing too much, and you should damned well just read the thing for yourself. The ebook is only five smackers, futhuchrissakes.
Don’s book drives his point home, but Vman’s book gets down in your lizard brain and makes you remember all the car rides of youth, the stupid travel games, the things your parents didn’t want you to see, and then it lays you flat with.. well, you’ll just have to read it. Read it, you rat bastards.
And if you haven’t read America Falling, read that too.
has been absolutely on fire while I’ve been gone. Please to go read him. There are several posts worth looking at hard, and he’s asking some questions we all ought to be asking ourselves.
today talked with me about the Bug Zapper post. He saw it as an allegory for dealing wiht liberals, and it’s an apt and astute comment.
On the other hand, the post really was about licking a bug zapper. Don’t. Makes your tongue hurt so you talk like Barney Frank. And everything tastes like a burnt halogen light for a week.
While I’m thinking about it, don’t lick any halogen bulbs, burnt or otherwise.
