Re: Trip to the bookstore
Just finished The Right Nation which was interesting but definently not for everyone. The book is part history part commentary of the conservatism is America and it's relationship with Europe. I think those who enjoy learning about history and politics without the bomb throwing of Ann Coulter, Michael Moore, Rush Limbaugh or Al Franklin will enjoy this book. It's takes a very fair look at the make up of conservatism without either bashing or celebrating it. It absolutely does not try to persuad the reader to take sides and I would not consider it to be a political book.
I especially found the parts on think tanks and the role that they play in politics to be fresh and interesting.
The Right Nation is a bit on the long side at 420+ pages of reading material and does tend to be a bit redundant at times.
Next up Hell's Angels.
