Ah, in my woefully isolated state clear out here in Snohomish, there’s really not all that much to do.

Good thing, too. Gives me the chance to sit around and wait until next Friday, when I finally move into my apartment. Well, okay — when I finally get the keys and finish the paperwork so I can start moving in. Big difference there, right?

Anyway, here’s how I’m doing on reading my books for class. Anything struck out has been completed.

Howard Zinn, A People’s History of the United States (in progress)
Noam Chomsky, The Chomsky Reader (select readings only)
John Locke, Second Treatise on Government
George Orwell, 1984
Angela Davis, The Angela Y. Davis Reader
Thomas J. McCormick, America’s Half Century: United States Foreign Policy in the Cold War and After
Kevin Phillips, American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune, and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush
Larry Everest, Oil, Power, and Empire: Iraq and the U.S. Global Agenda
Douglass V. Popora, How Holocausts Happen: The United States in Central America
Mike Prokosch and Laura Raymond, The Global Activist’s Handbook: Local Ways to Change the World

Thus, 2 completed, 8 remaining.

Does anyone actually read this stuff? If so, e-mail me, for God’s sake! I feel like I’m on an empty stage yammering at a nonexistent audience here (probably not far from the truth).
