It's cool. You said you moved right? Valid excuse. Anyway, if people are still reading, I don't want to be the guy that gives anything away, you know?

I read it! I'm on the shores of Lake Charlevoix right now, but I'd be glad to participate when I can.

Get the conversation started, I'll join in. I know that SufficientGrace, minimum_wage, KenyanSocialist61, ButterflyEffect, and StJohn were going to read it.

If you are looking for a way to dip your toe in to conversation, I think a great place to start would be:

Ayn Rand: Propogandist garbage or... actually a compelling novel?..... or both?

Is my question a bit biased? Well, you may be shocked by my answer. What did you guys think? mk, I know that you've read this.

False. I did not sign up to read this one. Just went and checked the original post about this book. I'm still working my way through East of Eden, which is an incredible read. But that's for another time.

Ah, Sorry ButterflyEffect, my bad. You really didn't miss out on much. However, like the bible this book has such a tremendous impact on modern american politics that it might as well be read from an anthropologic standpoint.

Enjoy East of Eden.

Hmm. I'll have to read the discussion on this book and add it to my list of books to read, which is always expanding.

Lake Charlevoix looks beautiful. Hope you're having a great vacation!

The lake looks gorgeous - and yet even the remote campsite has internet.

Just a photo I found online. It's not Autumn here :)

Right right, I understand. Yeah I've moved, that took a while.
