    The Joy of British Imperialism

    After an autumn of devotion to college football at the expense of reading, I may be a little too excited to have gotten my hands on these three books today:

    Clive: Life and Death of a British Emperor, by Robert Harvey,

    Cochrane: Life and Exploits of a Fighting Captain, by the same, and

    To Rule the Waves: How the British Navy Shaped the Modern World, by Arthur Herman.

    Turn off the TV, Ma!
    You tell me it's the institution. Well, you know, you'd better free your mind instead.

    I am still waiting for a relevant response from someone who reads books; i.e., someone other than an illiterate OUI refugee...

    Are these books available at the public library?

    Sure. Er. Maybe.

    Since you are semi-literate, you may need to follow these signs which were evidenlty designed so that people who can't read "library" can still find one.

    Re: The Joy of British Imperialism

    Have your read the book about the last thousand days of the British empire? It's fairly enjoyable? I don't remeber the author off the top of my head.

    Re: The Joy of British Imperialism

    Here's the news, TU. Couldn't find those books, so I checked out Churchill Defiant by Barbara Leaming. I will get back to you on that. I also checked out Acid Christ by Mark Christensen, which is a biography of Ken Kesey, but I don't suppose you'll have much interest in Kesey...

    I am looking forward to reading the latest Doonesbury compilation. That will really make me appear smart.

    A Kesey bio might be cool. Can I read it while not tripping?

    I just like the idea of a picture sign so people who can't read can still find the library. I guess nobody else thinks it's funny.

    Just because you have nothing to say doesn't mean you should say it.

    Sure. Girl at the library told me, "I'm not old enough to remember him, but my husband is older, and he remembers." Really, did she have to say that?
