A good and interesting read. Author grew up in TX and while moving around some as an adult, moved back & lived most of his life there. He is a sort of Austin liberal but as a reporter got to know all parts of TX and the people. I enjoyed parts of it, other parts are just sort of depressing in the way that the Republican party is now depressing. Interesting histories of the state and the people of the state. Sort of scary that TX and likewise CA are the two states with such large influences on the rest of the country. FL, NY, PA & others would like to rise up but those 2 are really the ones and the crazy stuff seen in TX is tough. I am sure a book about CA would point out more than enough crazy stuff there too in the mostly leftward way.
There are 2 WL for this book so I will get it posted & mailed off hopefully soon.
