A peoples History of the United States 20th C
« on: April 12, 2004, 07:06:09 AM »
So Im listening to a few books I downloaded off of Audible, Treasure Island, and Howard Zinn's "A Peoples History of the United States The 20th Century" which is the last half of Zinns 20 year study of history in the US from the average persons perspective.  Its very interesting and a nice antidote to history as it is taught in school sometimes you can learn a lot more from the losers in history than you can from the winners.
For those of you who are more influenced by pop culture references, this is the book mentioned by Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting as the right kind of book.  
Damon reads this recording (which is cool).
Its an automated robot. Based on Science!
