The earliest printed book
868 C.E.
China

or has BookTV taken on a more and more conservative leaning over the past six months or so...

Lately it seems that week after week there are more conservative books/authors than, say, a year ago.

Grrrrrrrr...

:grr: :grr: :grr:

including RERUNS of Regnery showing off his garbage dump, I mean library. that was on last week, too! WTF? and ANOTHER rerun of 'Clifford' May's interview with bogus historian Kagan, along with about seventy shows with another bogus historian, VD Hanson

there's quite a list of trogs, once again, without any balancing that I noticed, in my quick survey

if I missed some little known (to me) progressive voices (aside from the civil rights stuff), please clue me in

right wing Friday has morphed into Right Wing Weekend

Tallying up the comparision of their left vs right number of books, and send them the statistics of my findings.

I used to be glued to booktv weekend after weekend. It's a disappointment to me now.

a video of the joseph heller and kurt vonnegut appearance? I emailed cspan but recieved no answer

Hurray for Viva and reading!! :)

:hi: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

My feelings, exactly.
