Just Can't Wait

It's not that Boom! is a boring book -- on the contrary. I absolutely love the mix of personal and cultural stories that only Brokaw can write. But I just don't have time to sit through a whole chapter at a time, so I went back to reading my Norton Anthology of Modern and Contemporary Poetry. Hey... at least I'm still reading. That's more than I can say for the 47% or so of Americans that haven't picked up a story in the past year. It's sad that only half of the country reads. It's so fun!
