37. Books read in 2008 - A modest Proposal, J Swift 5 days ago

A Modest Proposal, J Swift

Because everyone gets the short encapsulation of the argument somewhere in school, because some folks contemporaneous to the publication thought he was actually serious, thus making it a case study for any afficionado of social satire that makes one think, and because I like going back into the full reading of Such Things, and lo! there it was at the Gutenberg Project.
In a nutshell: yes, still worthy of reading the whole thing. oh my.
