Find entertainment where you can get it...

Working back at the bookmines doesn't afford a whole lot of "benefits" but they do offer a constant take on the state of the nation.

Take for instance this book. Someone must have been browsing the parenting section, and didn't like what they saw because co-worker of the cheese later found the book misplaced with the following handwritten note inside:

"File under-
lesbian, feminist, propaganda bullshit."

Now here's the great thing about browsing in a book store. There is, guaranteed, no matter who you are or what you believe, going to be at least one book in any decent sized store that you completely fall in love with, and one that completely offends you.

Are you a self-hating half jewish Nazi...then the cheese can find a book for you. Has Jesus himself spoken to you personally...we might have something up your ally. Do you believe that a race of intergalactic lizards mixed their DNA with that of humans 10,000 years ago and that the descendents of those aliens are secretly running the world to this day...follow me.

Basically, it comes down to free speech people. If you don't like a book you see, you don't have to buy it, open it, or even look at it.

I find it ironic that on the link you posted, you can order this book with James Dobsons book on raising boys. Talk about your polar opposites.

I find this coupling quite amusing.

Only slightly less amusing than if Mein Kampf were paired with Black Like Me...

The comments were the best for this book.

I like how the first review points out all the flaws in the book, and the rest of the comments are a debate that rarely gets back to the matter of the book in question.
