I've just started this  Grin  Look at the date  Shocked It was first published in 1813 .

Damn Dunc if I were reading that book I would be afraid to touch the pages

I started Moby Dick a few days ago...

Moby Dick is one of my favorite books. I remember everyone hating it in high school and really enjoying it. I have read a couple times since.
Some guilty pleasure reading for me. I have been reading Harry Turtledoves alternate history series about an alien invasion during WW2. Not a series read by any means. But good escapism for me. I have to say I have enjoyed it so far.

If you wanrt to read a good Harry Turtledove story.  Try "Guns of the South:A Novel of the Civil War"

I have read and agree with you. It was a good read.

How few Remain was good as well.

I read two of the WW1 alternate timelines that continue the series. I liked them.
Really the only Harry Turtledove book that I didn't enjoy was The Two Georges

I should read those. Although some of those "The South won the war" books make it seem that the Southern states are akin to Hitler Germany and only went to war to keep promoting white supremacy. War is never simple and to think that slavery was the only reason the Southern states seceded is laughable.

However, I will be good and refrain from going on a rant.

To expand on this, it is not widely known that the New England states threatened to secede well before the war. The issue was the lowering of tariffs that protected northern industry. The tariffs stayed high. The north got the jobs and the profit and the South paid the price.

The best book I have read on the subject is "The Slave States" by Frederik Law Olmstead.The father of landscape architecture. Written in the 1840s it was a series of newspaper articles later turned into a book. Olmstead was an abolitionist but not one of the fire breathing ones. He believed that slavery was uneconomic and that it would die a natural death. He made a trip through the South to study at first hand conditions there. The book is very fair and even handed and is one of those rare books where you find yourself really liking the author as a person. If he had had more influence I do not think there would have been a war.

John Brown was a hero and martyr in New England.

When I took the SAT's I put down "Chuck Norris" as my answer for each question and recieved a perfect score.
Chuck Norris does not sleep He waits.

If Fox cast Chuck Norris for the series "24" instead of Kiefer Sutherland it would have had to been renamed "15 minutes".

That's because he was bieng the Consumate Gentleman/Ass Kicker and had respect for his elders,or the my personal theory is........

If the terrorists knew he was coming  :oand in charge they would have imeadiatley released the Hostages,then committed ritual suicide  depriving civilization as we know it of an hour and a half of Norris Butt Kickerery.
