I had to read Zinn’s book for a HIS4XX class. That guy just rubs me the wrong way.

A customer…well, friend brought this to me the other day. Got home, and went through it in about 5 hours. Lots of relevant stuff related to stuff going on in my life. Truly a fantastic book

Does anyone read anything anymore?

Just got through this because I’m tired of talking to divorced and about to divorce people.  
They all seem to follow a similar path. Marriage -\> kids -\> no sex -\> not allowed to see naked -\> time passes -\> FU I’m outa here.

it is a really fast read/listen.  
Turns out I really am an ass.  
It’s actually not too far off what it takes to make people happy.  
women - lots of affirming words, presents, quality time, acts of service, and touch.  
men - lots of touch.

up next:

I recently read: Dead Birds Hot and March of Time and Skin by Jeff Stewart. Both very good.

Found them as nook downloads on his website: [http://jeffstewartauthor.com/](http://jeffstewartauthor.com/)

I’m in the middle of Folstom and Jetsam and will be reading Lolly next. He is a contributor to a magazine I read and really liked his style and found these books.
