Enough Time Evidently

While I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more, I have discovered that it is not unusual for me to read an entire book in a single day. That said, it is still a marvel to read a tome in an evening, between dinner and a ballgame. Such was the case with Letters to A Young Contrarian by Christopher Hitchens. Following the cue of Rilke Hitchens proclaimed an imperative to push against entrenched opinions and be true to oneself, regardless of consequent flak. This was published in June of 2001: isn't it strange how innocent Hitch appears at that juncture before his poodle press found proper stride?
