Mark's Book club pick
i am reading a relly good book right now. the book is titled "What's the matter with kansas: how conservatives won the heart of america", and it written by Thomas Frank. obliviously it is a political book.
The Book lays out how the neo-cons or "Backlash" has decieved blue-collar and under-privledge workers into voting republican even when it doesn't profit them in any way. the author focuses on his home sate of kansas. Kansas was once the most radicle of liberal states and now is one of the most conservative of the blue-states. Kansas also, according to the author, has the poorest county in the state, which voted republican.
I am  not that far into it yet i only started a couploe weeks ago. but i am enjoying it and find it very interesting.
I just thought i would make a book sugjestion. now, i know what oprah fells like with her book clubs (ha ha)
If you read this book i hope you enjoy it like me

Thanks for reading
Mark M.

P.S. i don't really have a book club. and i'm not a member of one. i just thought that subject would be funny
