I Saw Batman
This afternoon.
On Nicollet Mall.
In sneakers.
What a city.
Anyway...
So there's nothing quite like playing an idealistic Socialist on stage to get the ol' Sociology juices flowing. I'm currently reading Terry Pratchett's The Light Fantastic, but I'm pushing to get through it, because I picked up a few non-fiction/partial fiction books at the library to start on.
First is Tevye the Dairyman & The Railroad Stories, by Sholem Aleichem. As you may have guessed, its the basis for Fiddler, and from what I've flipped through it appears to be written as a series of letters to Aleichem from Tevye. I honestly have no clue how much is fiction and how much is truth, but I'm gonna take a shot at it.
After that, barring a Harry Potter interruption, I picked up a history book about the Soviet Union: the origins of the Socialist and Communist systems in Russia, the rise, and the fall. Should hopefully be a good read.

Which history book? Buyer beware, a lot of books published here about Soviet Russia are highly propagandized (yes, even now).
