That's what I'd say to Amazon if I were on Springer. I'll explain. I just bought two books on Amazon based on the reviews given by Brad DeLong. They are:
Toward Clarity and Grace (Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing)
by Joseph M. Williams
and
The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software
by Charles Petzold
The first book might come in handy for the writing section of the GRE class I'm teaching, plus I'm always second guessing myself when I'm writing - unsure of how to phrase sentences and engaging in awkward, sloppy composition. The computer book is something I've been looking for (DeLong too) for a long, long time. I've always wanted to know how computers work. I get a piece of the answer everytime I ask, but I still don't get IT. I want to know how copper and silicon with a little electricity is able understand information, process information and display it back to me. Hopefully, I'll know after I read this book.
BUT Here's the reason for the post... after my purchase, Amazon recommends these titles for me:
Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right by Ann H. Coulter (Hardcover)
Invasion: How America Still Welcomes Terrorists Criminals & Other Foreign Menaces to Our Shores by Michelle Malkin (Hardcover)
When I Was a Kid, This Was a Free Country by G. Gordon Liddy (Hardcover)
The Death of the West: How Dying Populations and Immigrant Invasions Imperil Our Country and Civilization by Patrick J. Buchanan (Hardcover)
Shakedown: Exposing the Real Jesse Jackson by Kenneth R. Timmerman (Hardcover)
Does this mean that people who write and want to learn about the innards of computers are crazy right wing folks? I always thought they'd more likely be Bohemian Bourgeoisie but I'm neither. Maybe for having an interest in these two books I'm more likely to get stock dividends? I don't know, but it's a little scary that not only are these books written with their "Dem colored peoples are taking over the whole god damn country" themes but that these books were recommended to ME! Maybe I should check these out just to understand the dark side.
