Blast from the Past

Want to do something fun? Go get a political and/or societal commentary type book published before the year 2000. I recommend Bill Bryson (I’m a Stranger Here Myself is a good one) or P.J. O’Rourke (a very funny conservative commentator, one you can actually like).

  • Before wide-spread use of the Internet.
  • Before 9/11
  • Before Bush
  • Before housing bubble/burst.
  • Before bloggers.

Wow, they say the ‘50s were simpler times. We’ll be saying that about the ‘90s when our biggest issue was what Bill actually did with that cigar and where.
