I started reading Shooting War. Really smart. Excellently disturbing. I love the news crawl, side-cramping funny. "Next: When Your Child is Hiding a Koran". It really conveys the power of media. While reading this, I swear I could see overweight, Middle America screaming from the ass-dented sofa:
"Hank... HANK!"
"WHAT JO-ANNE, I'm in the bathroom."
"Go-on and check the boy's room for that koo-RAN book they have been talkin' 'bout on the t.v, I'm worried they are praying to that ooh-llah character..."
The illustrations are great, I like the faint underlying of photographs. And boy do Lappe and Goldman really kill corporate. The chain logos are everywhere. Really smart. I'm only about a quarter of the way through and look forward to discussing it in class.
