Any time you give a man something he doesn't earn, you cheapen him. Our kids earn what they get, and that includes respect. -- Woody Hayes
I got that for my sister for Christmas, because she had it on her Amazon wish list.
The synopsis puts me in mind of a really good book by Rick Bragg - 'It's All Over But the Shoutin''. I gave my late mother-in-law a copy - she grew up in the '30s and '40s near Tuscumbia, Alabama - after reading it, myself, and she said it took her back to her poor country childhood with such vividness that she had to stop reading every few pages. Emotional overload.

I'm reading The Barbarians Speak by Peter Wells. It's a study of ancient Europe and how the native peoples of temperate Europe interacted with Rome to form new societies after the Roman conquests of the 1st and 2nd Centuries B.C.
@Chris and @Ethereal this may be of interest to you both: according to Wells, , the archaeology suggests that the large tribal groups to which Classical writers (including Caesar) made reference to were in fact a recent political phenomenon that appeared only as a result of interaction with, and at times a perceived threat from, the Roman state. There simply isn't much archaeological evidence to suggest that the political and social hierarchy these larger conglomerations entailed were an isolated, internal development. On the contrary, the evidence suggests that this was a response to the challenges presented by Roman expansion.
Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

A lot of it is written for the novice precision rifleman, but there is a ton of good information for the experienced shooter, as well.

When its your business its personal, I read the book long ago so i dont exactly remember the context that personal was used. For example when tessio became a traitor that was personal but he said it was just business not personal in the movie, thats as personal as it gets being a rat.
