    They should change the Columbus Day holiday to Election day, so everyone gets an equal opportunity to wait 4+ hours in line to vote.

    I've read just about everything written by Dostoevsky and Vonnegut, but I'm almost done with everything by Barbara Kingsolver.

    I highly recommend (in order)

    Prodigal Summer

    The Poisonwood Bible

    Flight Behavior

    Have you read any of Nabokov's novels?

    I will definitely check out Kingsolver. Great name BTW.

    I love Dostoevsky, but really don't like Vonnegut at all.

    I'm not really into nonfiction. It's my 3rd time reading it.

    The only other nonfiction book I've read in the past few years that wasn't an autobiography was 1491.

    Vonnegut does like you. In a platonic way, I mean, the guy’s not creepy. Just friendly...

    And I'm still trying to get through Peoples History.

    I've finished what was originally written for the 1st printing in 1980, just haven't bothered with the updates through Clinton and beyond yet.
