Book slogged through...very slowly...

Tom loaned this to me probably a year ago now - which is fair, because he's still got my copy of South Park, the Movie and Season One. Friends can get away with keeping that sutff that long apparently.

The topic is a thrilling one: the begging, borrowing, and outright stealing of water rights in the American West and the eventual prices that are being paid for the overuse of that water. The writing's pretty interesting as well, but I just haven't been able to get through more than the first chapter. There are so many names, so many places that I don't have references for in my head - more maps would help a bunch as far as I'm concerned.

Check out Chinatown instead if you're in for something a little more quick and entertaining. It's got some of the same subjects...

If I finish things, I'll mention what's up...
