Meadabawdy's Bookstore

I've set up a "bookstore" at Amazon with books on topics that I've intended to make staples of this blog. (You would be purchasing the titles through Amazon, not from me, with a smallish percentage going to me if you purchase through my links at no additional cost to you) A "tip jar," of a sort, in more of a free market mode: You spend your money on products and services that you find useful while throwing a benefit to me on the side for perhaps triggering your interest in worthy books.

Politics was much of the initial impetus for starting "meadabawdy" but you'll find I've listed much in the way of literature, - J.R.R. Tolkien, Flannery O'Connor, Dante - history, biography, and such. Even the overtly political tends to be more on the cultural groundings and tie-ins of politics. So, more political in the classical Greek sense of the word: The polis, the city. As in how we citizens agree to organize the public aspects of our lives together within our broader culture. So much of what is meant by politics these days is the tactical wheeling and dealing of electoral party politics. Consider this a re-inauguration of the blog as a conversation on topics with a longer time horizon than the buzz of the moment.

So here you go, somewhat on the theme of "Politics is downstream from culture," is Meadabawdy's Bookstore

Take up and read, as the lady said.
