..to one of you guys in here. Unfortunately, I don't remember who it is... :)

Back on the old board (where my name was "nothingman_."), one of you recommended me I'd read Howard Zinn's "You Can't Be Neutral On A Moving Train".

I did.

The book was amazing. Inspiring, telling a story that really made an impact on me! Just after I finished it I picked up "A Peoples History of the US", and I'm almost halfway throught it now.. A very different type of book, obviously, but I'm really glad I started to read it.

So a late Thank You from me, whoever you are/were!! :)

Hmm, I recall being involved in a conversation about that book some time around the Vote For Change tour, so that may or may not have been me.

If it was me, no sweat, just keep me in mind next time you come across a great book. If it wasn't me, then I'd like to take this time to suggest Nader's "Crashing the Party." Another inspiring little diddy.
