Canticle for Liebowitz is a good book. Who has time to read in these difficult times? I just read a piece of Desperate Sons last month, about the Sons of Liberty, germane to our current political situation. Also read a piece of Nance's book The Plot To Betray America. Tried to get into Maddow's Prequel but did not have the time or the will for it. I am turning to fiction to try and save my sanity. I am outraged. Nietzche said "We have Art So That We Do Not Die From Reality".
