Summer Reading
I just finished Brzezinski's The Choice. I wanted to get it read before I heard him speak at World Affairs this coming Thursday evening.
It was a better and faster read than I had expected. His clear, more dispassionate explanation of The Other Point of View was definitely worth reading. Without the usual loud rhetoric, I was able to gain a more in depth understanding of TOPoV.
What's more, it was good background info for me---how complicated everything is---how interwoven it all is. Where ever there is an action, there are multiple reactions and unintended consequences.
Furthermore, I decided that it is far easier to write and to talk about what should be done than it is to accomplish it.
During the previous two days I read two rather trite novels, which was really my summer reading, as I recovered from the last of my respiratory virus infection that left via the 24-hour stomach flu. Finally, I feel better than I have felt in six weeks. World here I come! To the laundry room to catch up on the washing.
