Marilyn Young: "The Vietnam Wars 1945 - 1990". Clear, brilliant, definitive. I can't recommend it enough.

Just started reading a book called Overthrow by Stephen Kinzer. It's about all of the rulers and governments the US has overthrown starting with Hawaii.

People on this site read?

Anyway, I'm currently trying to slog my way through Cities of the plain, V.4 of Proust's Remembrance of Things Past, not McCarthy's. He's always verbose, but goddamn v.4 takes it to another level. By far the weakest volume so far imo. Of course it could partially be the translation as well.

No, we don't. You are the only literate (and literary) visitor to this site. If you ask us what memories biting into a madeleine evokes, we will tell you mike brown returning two picks to the house consecutively, because we are all intellectually inferior since we post here, like you do. Dick

Are madeleines your go to snack for game time?

You seem to have become awfully touchy recently, and your sarcasm detector is apparently on the brink. Ass.
