I just finished Clinton's book My Life. Whew... that
was one tough read, even though in some spots is was really great. He was amazingly even-handed with the Republicans, including Dole, Gingrich, and DeLay, but of course did not have nice things to say about Starr, etc. My suggestion is than unless you're a totall Bubbamaniac, skip the first 24 chapters (about 300 pages) of the 1000 page volume. It's somewhat interesting only if you're really interested in his childhood. The good stuff starts in chapter 25, and quickly becomes a page turner. I suggest scanning the first 24 chapters. I think even those leaning right would enjoy many parts of the book. One thing I didn't find appealing was his sort of smarmy attempt to fall back on his religion as a mechanism for healing himself. I don't think it was a bad thing, but the volume of it was too great to be believable. Some of the stuff he discusses, I completely forgot about, and it was good to be reminded of the successes and failures of his tenure. -- Jonathan Ganz (j gan z @ $ail no w.c=o=m) http://www.sailnow.com "If there's no wind, row." |

So, what you're saying is that you're too stupid to skip OT subjects and/or you get really excited when I post something. -- Jonathan Ganz (j gan z @ $ail no w.c=o=m) http://www.sailnow.com "If there's no wind, row." |
