AOC's Summer Reading Challenge 1.0 Was Crazy - Book 1: "I Am America (And So Can You!)" by Stephen Colbert
So back in December or January I heard about this page-a-day reading challenge. That was a lost cause, but I guess there's all kinds of ways to do things cause I actually did complete 10 whole books and parts of several others this summer on account of AOC's challenge (I don't live in her district but it was supposed to be like a token of support if she does run for President - unfortunately I guess she started saying s*** like "Woke 1 was crazy" since June [of course I haven't watched the actual clip], so we'll see how things develop...).
So just real quick, some highlights and stuff about them, starting with I Am America (And So Can You)! by Stephen Colbert.
This one I'd already started a long time ago and never finished. It's written in character as Colbert's conservative persona from The Daily Show and his first show and it's basically a satirical manifesto about being a Real American. A lot of it is amusing, particularly the margin notes, but honestly it was pretty depressing to read now that Colbert's off the air and these kinds of crazies/bigots are running ("running") the government. Also there are some graphic pictures of animal parts that were wrong then and now...
