    Just bought this, thouht I'd share.

    It's been about a year since I last logged in but I came across a book that I found pretty gripping. I don't have anyone to discuss book with where I am now and there are very few places on the web to discuss books.

    This is an anthology about the "white stereotype." Agree with it, disagree with it- this book takes a good look at its roots without mocking the subject. Amazingly, I find it to be one of the more tender and sensitive descriptions of white people as villians and victims.

    Would this be your book? Would this by any chance be the way you're marketing your book?

    Nope, not my book.

    Found this through a friend on Facebook.

    While I am dropping book recomendations...

    Action and technology novelist Michael Crichton's second book as a novelist was a book he wrote with his brother Douglas. It's called The Berkley to Boston Forty Brick Lost Bag Blues.

    I found it in a used bookstore for fifty cents. I only bought it because it had a funny sketch on the cover. It was only later when I looked it up online that I found out that it was a Crichton novel.

    Anyway, no sci-fi or technology, but the book is really cool. Well written and well-crafted. If you see it pick it up.

    I think I liked this better than the first book I started this post off with.

    I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but that's just awful.
