In an effort to get smarter... (yeah, good luck with that)

I am going to re-read Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States. well, by re-read, i mean read for the first time. I "read" it a few years ago for a class in College, but I really only skimmed it. But, I have been really thinking about some of this stuff lately, so, I am off to borders to buy it. that and Middlesex. that seems like an interesting read too :)
