    Do you plan on having children King? If so, you should invest in copies for them. I would advise a minimum of 9 copies of each book per possible child.

    Perfect, perfect. You know, I believe that children are our future. Teach them well, let THEM lead the way.

    I never knew reading your wife's book would have such career and life changing ramifications for me.

    If I don't do civil rights work and just do corporate law for as much money as possible, I can give the kids the education they need because said education is these books.

    It all makes sense now!

    Just finished Hillbilly Elegy by J.D Vance. Fantastic book about how an entire culture is losing it's way and being forgotten and left in socioeconomic ruin. It's a reflection of the author, who grew up in the Appalachia region, and the people he grew up with and loves and also is frustrated by. A great examination of the working class and the working poor and how you can be a strong people but still need the strength to admit when things aren't working and wanting to find a better way instead of just being proud of coming from and staying in nothing. Heartbreaking and hopeful all at once, probably one of the most important and reflective books I've read in years.

    There's a book out there called the History of white trash. a co-worker had shown it to me and I've thought about picking it up. this sounds very similar.

    Never heard about that one but I will take a look. This book was really good though and I can't recommend it enough. Been on my shelf for a year and I regret putting it off so long. It's a culture I am not familiar with and it was a great examination of the how and why all the way up to the current issues with prescription drugs and extreme poverty. It's all at once a compliment and critical look at something he grew up in and escaped.

    white trash culture is really some creepy shit. Rednecks are cool, but whitetrash, even though they often have great weed, are a culture to be avoided imo.
