A few minutes ago we sent out the annual list of what the subscribers (commentary or not was optional) recommend from their reading of the past year. This List feature gets more ever more popular. So many titles came in this year el V decided to send it as a pdf instead of the usual e-mail.
The subscribers are one heck of a reading, analyzing, writing, intelligent, witty, perspicacious bunch of people. I'm in awe of them. But most of all it's thrilling to see in such detail how much they value books for all the many reasons people value reading, writing and learning. Sometimes in this era of glorification of idiots and fools we can lose sight that our population still includes many people who are neither.
Thank you, Listers, for renewing some faith in this country.
el V, tyrant of da List, urged me to contribute something a little different for the Round-up. So I did a short essay on The Virginian and the Western. I've been working out the content for this study over the last few years here on Fox Home. This little piece is the closest I've come, so far, to saying what I want to say about Westerns, since I figured out that the Western is really the 'Neo-Confederate.'

I looked over the Andrew Johnson book today and added it to my reading list (it's 4th). I missed V's call for three recommendations from 2010 reading. Here's what they would have been:
The Heart of Power: Health and Politics in the Oval Office, Blumenthal & Morone
Those Terrible Carpetbaggers: A Reinterpretation, Current
Birdsong, Faulks
You, dear K, were one of the many Listers in mind when I wrote of the subscribers:
"The subscribers are one heck of a reading, analyzing, writing, intelligent, witty, perspicacious bunch of people."
Thank you so much then for you being that!
Love, C.
Also, both V and I are champing to read the author of Impeachment's new book on Burr's western adventure.
Love, c.
