Oh I didn't buy his book I just read it.
And I'm here to tell people that it's not worth their time or money. And I bring this up probably to the same 60 people every time just in case someone new happens to see it.
I, however, don't entirely agree on not watching Fox News. I certainly wouldn't make it a habit of watching it but their coverage of the DNC was actually pretty enlightening. I was at a local pizza place the pizza is great but the family are of course staunch Republicans. We were stuck in the last booth in the place and I thought oh great I'm going to just have to deal with this s*** until the kids get their fill of pizza. But I occasionally looked up and found that they really had nothing. They bitched and complained about a bunch of stuff that was kind of nitpicky but for all the negative they wanted to sell they didn't have anything meaningful to say about it. And that said a lot more than the actual CNN coverage of it.
I read a few pages. It was pretty awfully written.
Yeah, there were numerous instances where I had to read for context to understand what they were getting at.
