By Fergus M. Bordewich...
a recent find at, of all places, the Peace River Center Thrift Shoppe.
I really enjoyed this one and learned some Native American history that I was unaware of. The author explored a variety of issues, including history, racial identity, reparations, tribal sovereignty.Of these I have always been intrigued most by the concept of tribal sovereignty. There are so many shades to how it can work. The work was well researched with lots of examples of how different tribes have lived and survived. There are heartbreaking stories as well. It is a topic that I wish more people would read about.

Reading About Reading
In my quest to talk about books, I have ended up reading about what other people are saying about them. This new hobby takes so much time I don't seem to have any left for reading books. I added a new link in "more things i read." I like her reviews and also Books 4 Breakfast has a long list of literary links that could keep a person blog hopping for days.

Moving Into the Book Club World
I've joined a couple of book clubs from goodreads.com. I've ordered one book, but think I'll go back to One Million Books at the Gadsden Mall to see if I can pick up the Delillo one. I've never read him before, so I might as well. Maybe having a couple of books going will keep me from turning on the TV. Last night I watched parts of 4 movies flicking through channels and woke up feeling gross.
