Just because I haven’t been able to concentrate on reading whole books lately, that doesn’t stop me from buying them. So here’s my review of their covers.

Committed: A Rabble-Rousers Memoir by Dan Mathews

Wow, he got a Morrissey quote. I wonder if I will ever meet Morrissey. And Lily Tomlin, too. She’s awesome.

Bonus back cover review: Oh, he’s dressed like a rabbit.

For the Prevention Of Cruelty: The History and Legacy of Animal Rights Activism in the United States by Diane Beers

Cute Kitties! The horsies are getting water! What’s with the test tubes? Are those test tubes? What are those? Where are the quotes from Morrissey?

Bonus Inside Glimpse: Wall to wall words.

The Stuff Of Thought: Language As A Window Into Human Nature by Steven Pinker

I really like neon on black. I really like linguistics. Noam Chomsky is a jerk.

Wait, Morrissey’s dressed like a rabbit? I’d pay to see that.

I’m going to have to start adding that Chomsky line to all my posts. It almost got me to comment. Wait…strike the almost.
