Don Watson "American Journeys

My further attempts at rehab.today left me worse than before. Just finished a book which is good as rehab and you just listen to yourself. I know little about the US so i read Don Watson's American Journeys. Beautiful desc4iptions of place and thoughts. The Us is that country we hate when they go into fix something up, but we always go to them to fix things up. I am sure that history will show that they fixd something outside the US. When they have finished trying to fix outside they might start inside on New Orleans.
Anyway back to the book. IN my eagerness to finish it and start another I came to his "Afterword". which could be read aloneI was glad to read the book because it is necessary for me anyway that wer might appear to becoming American we could never be like the. Thay have because they need it we do not because we do not need it.Religion will continue to play no part in politics here (no matter what political commentators say. We lack enthusiasm for a way of living.

It is a great read. My next reads will be "Great Expectations", "The Costello Memoirs"
