I liked his concept of viewing the state not as an entity within itself, as history tends to do.
As in, something as large and varied as the USA can never have completely unified public opinion.

lagged a bit in the middle, and he loves his socialists - I'm Canadian, so it was pretty interesting.

Last 3 Books:

The Yellow Sign and Other Stories - Robert W. Chambers
(you can really tell why Lovecraft said of him "Chambers is like Rupert Hughes and a few other fallen titans -- equipped with the right brains and education, but wholly out of the habit of using them." The stories from The King in Yellow are beyond brilliant, but the rest of them don't measure up.)

Four Past Midnight - Stephen King
(Good, but frustrating because it could have been so much better. Even his novellas need trimming. Best of the group was The Sun Dog, but even that suffered from King's self-indulgence.)

The Game-Players of Titan - Philip K. Dick
(Really enjoyed it. Not one of his best, but I have a soft spot for him)

Currently reading: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - Stieg Larsson
(Christmas gift from my aunt. After 300 pages it's fine, but not exceptional.)

Next up:

Recoil - Jim Thompson
(slowly working my way through his catalogue. Like many greats who worked in a genre, he's underappreciated)

Bank Shot - Donald E. Westlake
(love his Parker novels, loved The Hot Rock, looking forward to more Dortmunder adventures.)
