My bedtime reading last night was Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, 1492 to Present. This tome has been my long term reading project this year; I've been working on it since Christmas Eve, but I've also read several books in their entirety as "breaks" from Zinn.

Anyway, I'm getting very close to the end of this book, which means that I am reading fairly modern history. Last night I read about the Reagan and Bush presidencies before attempting to fall asleep. Fat chance. After I finished my reading, I was feeling too pissed off and angry to sleep. It took another couple of hours, plus conversations with
