Notes -
So, what are you reading?
Still on The Master and his Emissary, slow progress. This book has a way of making one reflect on things he's heard or seen in the past.
I recall George Orwell's (I think?) quip that people were forgetting how to make their own metaphors, and were just using ones that don't have any relation in themselves to the topic at hand or to each other.
Edit: There's a good book thread in the Fun Thread.
Postville: a clash of cultures in heartland America
