Just put a ton of Stephen King ebooks onto my phone so I can catch up with the ones I've yet to read.

Long mediations on race relations aren't really my thing, but it was enjoyable enough. He's a very likeable guy.

I think it's quite interesting. You don't have to agree with everything written to enjoy the book, his arguments are well researched and I've enjoyed the two previous books of his I've read. Might be because I'm a geneticist, specificially in human evolution so I find these books written for a wider audience interesting to see what sort of points they are getting across (or trying to) to the general public, much like Richard Dawkins work amongst others.

I'm only a few chapters in mind, looks like it could get a bit dry and a bit of a slog later on.
