The Fraud

Jerry is on page 160 of 640 of Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War
Slow read because I need more macro and day less micro!! Very smart and seemingly wise man. I have lots of respect but can't handle the "logbook" level of detail. I will try to get through it....

Jerry is 35% done with Book of Samuel / Shmuel (Artscroll Tanach Stone Edition)
Fantastic! I like this guy and the others like Saul and David. Great character studies and a real insight into history. Not the facts necessarily, but the way they perceived the world and wanted to describe it. Very cool!

Not for grown ups IMHO. But interesting way of seeing class/caste warfare, and inability of haves to understand have-nots. Other thought provoking socioeconomic issues.

Amazing first half. Then shifts gears and goes hackneyed on me.

Jerry is finished with Speaker for the Dead (Ender's Saga, #2)
Meh. The writer is weird and so are his politics.

His style is surprisingly effeminate for the time, but perhaps it was acceptable, and thought of as genteel or something.
