Yikes, I’ll read anything, if it’s even just out of curiosity.

Yes, admittedly I do tend be fairly narrow in my reading choices. Likewise with music, I've never purchased a rock recording since I prefer the joyous, inspirational sounds of Southern Gospel music: The Florida Boys, The Happy Goodman Family, Hemphills, Blackwood Brothers and so on. I do have some secular country music as well: Roy Acuff, Ernest Tubb, Connie Smith and a few more in my smallish collection.

With some shame, I'll add that a few Willie Nelson recordings were in my collection. A few weeks ago, I put them in a metal barrel, doused them with lighter fluid and joyfully watched the vinyl burn. Yes, I knew that he was a dopehead and liberal but when he came out in full-throated support of murdering babies, that's when the ultimate evil of Willie Nelson became fully apparent and thus I dispatched all of his recorded material. Most of the albums had a picture of him on the cover and as the fellows from Enron reportedly said, "Burn baby burn!" :)

It's not always possible in the vile world of the obama/holder cabal but I really try to avoid wickedness or even the appearance of it as best I can.

Addendum: To elaborate just a bit, the previous list of books cited in my earlier post are those that I actively seek out for enjoyment and inspiration. Yes, it's indeed narrow and would make it appear that I'm not well-read. To the contrary! While not for enjoyment, I have read even these titles: The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Mein Kempf, Das Kapital and Ten Days that Shook the World, all of which I consider more along the lines of doing opposition research since none were enjoyable.
