Paper. I'm old school that way.

Don't do Ebooks except as a last resort for something out of print or otherwise unobtainable. I like the feel of a book in my hands.

The plan is to pick it up the day it comes out and take a long lunch or early dinner at the restaurant next door to the book shop.

If it shows up on election day, I will interrupt to watch the lunacy unfold.



I don't envy you your "choice" between Benito and Cruella.
Even Phoney Tony, much though I despise him, was not as p***-poor a choice

There is always the odd exception, but by and large, I have very little time for national politicians of any stripe, irrespective of their party, creed, colour, or any other distinguishing feature. I only ever came across two that I would trust further than I could throw them, and to my total lack of surprise, neither of those ever got anywhere significant.

Ah but we can ALWAYS find one to vote AGAINST and that is a significant advantage to democracies. Ending up under such persons like Ceaușescu, Mugabwe, Chavez/Maduro or Pol Pot is hazardous for the average citizen of their nations.

Let's not forget such luminaries as Stalin and Mao or those stirling individuals in Korea the Kim's.

seems to be rule of politics that even if they were a good person when they started by the time they reach a position with any significant power, let alone try for the highest office, that they are total jerks who we would all like to see thrown out of a plane. without a parachute.
