Contrarians

Finished:
A Promising Planet by Jeremy Strike

It was kind of interesting to read something so clearly written before the PC. On the very edge of the acknowlegment of womens rights.


Begun:
Letters to a Young Contrarian by Christopher Hitchens

I'm by no means sure I'd ever heard of Hitchens before but the title was attractive and the style of the preface as well. At the beginning of chapter IV he quotes Freuds epitaph but seems to me that " The voice of reason is loud but most people are deaf " would have been more appropriate.(shades of Auntie Mame)
