I definitely read too much. I pick through the new book section of the library weekly, so I’ve (almost) always read the latest books–fiction and non-fiction. One that I’ve read recently is The Army of the Republic, which is just such a great book I don’t even know where to start.

It is a critique of the greedy corporate police state that we could so easily become. It is a critique of extreme left-wing groups. It is a critique of right wing groups and the media. It is a critique of familial relationships–all done up in an absolutely beautiful work of fiction.

The cover is great. The words on the front of the guy’s face say, “I will not be silenced.”
