Yes, I should be starting to pack for Spain, or I should be reading my library book 'Python Programming for Win32', or I should be doing several other things.
Yet, this morning, I curled up on the living room couch, and finished reading "It Can't Happen Here", Sinclair Lewis' 1935 novel of Fascism in America.
The parallels with today are many. Here's a summary.
Lewis' tale commences with the 1936 election - at the time of writing, a future event. Today, the book reads like the Alternate Histories of Harry Turtledove and others.
Very chilling.
