...for recommending the book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" by Neil Postman. I just finished it yesterday (yes, I finally finished Bugliosi's 1500 page tome on the Kennedy assassination and have moved on to other books). It was excellent.
I always appreciate a good book recommendation!
ah, well.... you're very welcome, Kbone!
My bf Shane introduced me to it, actually, so I'll send along the thanks to him.
I've actually yet to read all of the book...a lot of the material has been discussed (nearly) ad nauseam amongst my boyfriend and many of our friends and I...so I've just been skimming between chapters whenever I have time...but yeah, I'm really glad you liked it! I'd gathered that you might, from reading many of your posts...You actually sound a lot like my boyfriend sometimes ;D

He must be a great guy. ;D
I'm actually looking forward to reading several of Postman's other books. He's written quite a few. So by turning me on to one book you've actually turned me on to his whole body of work. Thanks again!
