Read at Work. How to read at work without being busted, and not in a "guide to" kind of way...

Your favorite book sucks, and is un-American

So, whatcha readin? The ~~John Ashcroft~~ ~~Alberto Gonzales~~ Michael Mukasey Book Club wants to discuss your latest reads. Amazon thinks it's none of their business. So does your librarian. While it may seem that your reading list is safe, fact is you're actually just one National Security Letter or subpoena away from full disclosure. Want to change that? One step in the right direction would be to contact your Senator about getting S.2088 out of Committee and on to the floor. Oh, and tell them to vote for it. And then to override the veto.

Have you ever thought "B u s h s h o u l d r e a d t h i s b o o k". Anatomy of a meme.

If I had to do it again, I wouldn't read Beowulf

The Worst Book I Ever Read “Finnegan’s Wake is the best example of modernism disappearing up its own fundament.” A Brief History of Time and Iris Murdoch show up twice. Mein Kampf is as interesting as a bus timetable and “JK Rowling is the sub-literary analogue of Tony Blair.” Tolkien appears most foten, making him the most hated of this little group.
