To me, open-minded is putting the washer on spin-cycle, or getting naked and running around my backyard. Not "I'm cool cause I read books that I don't like!" Anyone who reads books that they don't like are wasting their time. That's my open-minded oppinion, or shall I say fact!
Interesting reads for this insane season of politics and fear. Some history and one book that like 'Columbine' by Dave Cullen makes you truly wonder.
