Spacey C Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I do want to read this book. Altho I find OReilly do be a smug snake oil salesman and the book is so loaded with historical errors the Fords Theater historical society refuses to sell it there at the museum. It's a novel based on the assasination of Abe. I don't want to read it for history, it just seems to be an interesting subject for a novel. If I find it on tyhe cheap, will purchase.

Mr. Hoopah! Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 This is literally no amount of money in the world that could entice me to read anything written by Bill O'Reilly. I would rather be naked and run backwards through a cornfield.Basically, a typical Wednesday evening for falcon_bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I find it on tyhe cheap, will purchase.There have been several O`Reilly detractors who have said that it was a pretty good book. The errors are actually insignificant ones from what I read (in one instance, the book claims Ford's Theatre was burned down in 1863 when it was actually destroyed in the end of 1862.) I haven`t read it, but plan on it one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The book was extremely detailed and NON political. #2. If you want cheap resources, you get CHEAP info. This book is fantastic. I learned alot from the book and it brought a huge freshness to what it means to be AMERICAN. figure that last part out yourself. I applaud the book from cover to finish.

Mr. Hoopah! Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Your loss. Counselor. An education is wasted too often.Yes snake, I'm wasting my 7 years of post-secondary education, including a bachelor of arts and juris doctor, because I won't read some *** hole's book. I'm throwing my entire education down the drain because I won't read some **** head's book. Thank you for showing me the path to enlightenment snake. Thank you. I was about to ruin my entire life because I wasn't going to read this book because Bill O'Reilly is a ******* *** hole. What a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions that would have been. Thanks, Macbeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want cheap resources, you get CHEAP info. This book is fantastic. I learned alot from the book and it brought a huge freshness to what it means to be AMERICAN. figure that last part out yourself. I applaud the book from cover to finish.IM gonna go out on a limb here, a very thick limb and say the Ford Theater historical society know more about the Lincoln assasination than you and I and if they choose not to sell the book because of errors, it is their business and pure capitalism. Like I said, the errors in the book won't bother me, because I am not reading it for history, I just hope its a good novel. I can see why a historical society may want to be on the side of historical accuracy, however. Not sure about the cheap remark. I simply meant finding it in a used book store for 5 bucks instead of paying 20+. Its the same book weather the pages are folded or not.As for that last part that I can figure out myself, you are hinting that you didn't know what it meant to be an American before you read it. I have known what it meant for quite a while now because...well...Im an American. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacey C Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 yea, for the record, I doubt anyone will be better or worse off for reading or not reading this book. And unless I find it cheap, I won't either. The good news? We have an Ollies near here( a closeout store} and all the GOP spokesmen books usually get there quickly. But even at 2.95 I didn't read " going Rogue" by Sarah Palin. And by the stacks of them there, no one else did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could also read a book about Vlad the impaler and can also enjoy Dracula. Different books for different purposes. A novel, for me is just light reading swinging on a hammock. no brain cells required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaGz Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 well maybe im the only one who tends to read Non-fiction books and watch fiction movies.
