Reading anything Interesting?

Hello everyone,

It has been a little bit since I've written.

I was wondering if people are reading anything interesting lately? Is anyone taking any interesting classes? What books are assigned in those classes? Anyone going to hear any interesting speakers?

I'm reading Al Gore's book The Assault On Reason. Not really a book on the environment but it ends up bringing up environmental themes. He ends up critiquing media and the way that we get information in this country and our lack of a vibrant, open debate about the direction of our country. The argument is a little disjointed, and gets frustrating, but is worth the read. I'm also re-reading Dave Foreman's book Confessions of an Ecowarrior. He writes surprisingly well and is entertaining.

Also, Southern California is on fire which might be something to talk about on here. It is interesting to think about where people are living and why? Who's interests get the focus when there are these kinds of fires and who is being ignored? Do these fires end up being good for the environment? Will it ever rain in Southern California?

Anyway, I'll be at the AAR in November and it would be awesome to see some of you.

Laters, Kevin
