New Books!

Preparing for a lengthy dl session while in Kingston, I visited a few local bookstores and replenished my dwindling supply of dock-reading.

New Arrivals:

Cliff Schecter, "The Real McCain" and
William Shatner, "Up to Now"

A bit of light reading to be sure. Schecter's book will not change my already low opinion of McSame, but it is always fun to read a good polemical screed against such a failed human. The Shatner book, well, aside from breaking ground as the space-Lothario Kirk, Shatner deserves a read if only for having the brass cahones to give a bizarre spoken word version of Elton John's classic drug odyssey, "Rocket Man." I am not generally prone to celebrity bios, but this one just looked like some late August fun!

Incidentally, I have just figured out the spell check function on Blogger - so I hope to limit many of my previously unchecked errors. I assumed it was on by default, and being accustomed to let Word check my work, I inadvertently let many embarrassing errors slip by!
