Book Blurb

I was strolling through some of the book titles off the ISI website - Intercollegiate Studies Institute - and came upon this book title:

A Consumer’s Guide to the Apocalypse
Why There Is No Cultural War in America and Why We Will Perish Nonetheless
--Eduardo Velásquez

Wow. Can it be?? A conservative-y book with a depressing book title NOT written by Steyn? Heh. The description states that the author's thesis "...is that when we peer into contemporary artists’ creative depiction of our sensibilities we discover that the antagonisms that fuel the current cultural wars stem from the same source."

Not a very original thesis if you ask me, but what really put a fork in this book for me was the mention of Coldplay. No thanks.

Anyhoo, my current book-leanings are focused on Mexican history - the Aztec wench in me I guess - so this won't be going on my 'to-read' list any time soon. If anybody out there has a book suggestion - be it historical or political - drop me a line! I am currently reading Fire and Blood: A History of Mexico by T.R. Fehrenbach.
