Remember when quotes were everything? Remember when these books were everything? This one even tells me I can win tickets to the Sisterhood movie premiere in summer 2005. Also, it's still a good book.

I'm reading this for a paper in which I will track 20 years of a brand, so this book falls not quite in the middle. It is fascinating to read a book about teenagers that was written while I myself was one. So far, two chapters in and I'm pleasantly surprised to find it's not just alarmist drivel.
So far this is great, and it's making me want to sit and reassess my priorities and consider whether or not I am gritty. I highly recommend the audiobook in particular.
The Right in its rigidity prefers the dead to the living; the static to the dynamic; the future as a repetition of the past rather than as a creative venture......imposed myths rather than incarnated values; directives rather than creative and communicative languages; and slogans rather than challenges.

This book was a total wildcard to pick up, and I'm finding it really, really good so far, but the fact that words in African native languages are italicized and Afrikaans is not is really making it hard for me to read without internally screaming about hegemony.
