This seems as good as any jumping off point for the concept and related variations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian_socialism Yeah, the book does seem to speak to American politics more than global. I wouldn't pigeonhole it to the time it was written though, as both Steve and I noted a lot of it is spookily prescient. I read it nearly two decades before he is reading it now (yet two decades after it was written still) and somehow we both found it eerily current. |

on book 6 (of 7) of Stephen King's The Dark Tower series.
this would be the second time reading the entire series and the 4th or 5th for the first three books. The Dark Tower > teh bible. |

I always wanted to marry a woman that proof reads for the New Yorker. Always thought there was something unutterably romantic about the idea.
