The arguments are actually very sound. Whenever you undertake a task of predicting what will happen 100 years from now, you are always going to enter the theater of the absurd to some level.

EAT is just finishing "Touchdown Johnny." Words are kinda big for him, so it takes a while.When do you cats have time to read? With the need to post here and every other obligation, tough to make the commitment.
Whats the general premise?
Finished "The Road", very good short book. Basically starts off with a father and his son after the apocalypse. Follows their struggles to fend of canibals, find food, etc. Apparently they made a movie out of it with Vigo Mortenson as the star. Now reading "You can call me Al."
Game Change (that new ish political tell all) It's pretty good. Makes both sides look crappy. I like thatAtlas Shrugged. Classic, love it, taking forever though. ~1200 pages
my problem with "Game Change" is that the authors don't revleal any of their sources. so uh. Nice book that could be mostly hearsay. I suggest not taking the book as fact.Atlas Shrugged, huh? If I didn't know where your political/ideological beliefs lied before, I do now. The Fountainhead is much better, IMO.

Superfreakonomics. Wicked funny.
