The Center Holds: Obama and His Enemies by Jonathan Alter

[soulster]

I'm still trying to get my hands on "Fire And Fury". I'm told everywhere I go that it's sold out, backordered, and that as soon as anyone gets any copies, they're all sold within minutes. I don't want the Kindle version.

I thought I wanted to read it as well until I heard from liberal, moderate AND conservative voices that it's riddled with typos and inaccuracies. Let us know if and when you get your hands on one.

Every stinkin' day, the shithole proves that everything in the book describes him to a "T", with the "i"s dotted! From everything i've heard from progressives and moderates, and psychologists, it's quite accurate. The only people who don't like it and say it's fake news is shithole's supporters.

WHITE MUSIC: THE BARRY WHITE STORY by Tom Rubython.

I saw this in Barnes and Noble; my partner and I guffawed all the way home about the clever title. Give us a review when you finish!

[Coppelia-Birdsong]

I just finished reading The Lost Supreme [[I cried several times, my baby Flo deserved SO MUCH better from so many people and from life itself) and Red Azealia by Anchee Min. I am also reading The Last Empress [[about the empress dowager Cixi), a book about Anne Boelyn and another about how to pick up weed and say really horrible things about people's mothers in Mandarin. It's very useful.
