Year of Voting Dangerously: The Derangement of American Politics

Year of Voting Dangerously: The Derangement of American Politics | Maureen Dowd

I was planning on reading this as a prelude to the election, but... halfway through the introduction I started hyperventilating. Perhaps it's time to put this aside and focus on something less anxiety-producing 😳😬

Crinoline_Laphroaig Myself I can't take anymore. I know who I'm voting for. But until then I'm just going to read and ignore the craziness. 8y

Gayan I had a full blown panic attack today and I blame it mostly on this election. 😱 8y

BooksPieAndCoffee Yup, so over it! Election 2016 has caused me to literally break out in hives. I'm staying in my reading fort until this mess is over. #SickOfHearingAboutTheDamnEmails 8y

Bookish.Heart I almost bought this book. But I have to wait until after this circus is over. Until then, I have my stash of happy pills and my pile of fantasy novels! 8y

so-so

This book covered the primaries, but also topics back to the Bush 41 presidency. I often wondered how this fit into the theme of this year's election and the declared theme of the book.
If you read an article by Maureen Dowd once a week in the New York Times over several years you won't notice this, but when a bunch of articles on similar topics are put together in a book, things get repetitive at times.

Thank goodness the weather is beautiful and I had a nice walk with the pooches, since this book does nothing to soothe my mind....

BarbaraTheBibliophage I love Maureen Dowd! Must look for this one. 8y

Kathrin @BarbaraTheBibliophage I usually love her too, but this doesn't really work for me... unfortunately. 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Hmmm. Sorry to hear. 😂 8y

Greetings from my day 4 of staycation walk. This time accompanied by Maureen Dowd... quite sobering especially compared to my audio book from yesterday.
