Tocqueville

Since my last post, I've read an issue of Hello Canada, two issues of OK Magazine, an issue of The New Yorker, three issues of Eclectic Reading, and two issues of The Economist. I also started reading more of Tocqueville -- his analysis of the United States really is outstanding. Some BBC reporter whose name I forget now said that Tocqueville wrote the best book ever written on the United States, and he was not just the reason I am reading Tocqueville, but he was also right. The second volume of De la democratie en Amerique is not only excellent even today, it is free of anti-Americanism, something quite rare now. I also read Tocqueville's memoirs.
