God Save Texas

Lawrence Wright is a storyteller, a magical storyteller. I'm so happy he chose our oddity of a place to make his home because this is the place he has chosen to tell stories about.

That's what this book is about. Stories upon stories upon stories. All set in Texas, and every story with a thread or two of such zaniness that you wouldn't believe it if you were a responsible citizen and saw it on Fox News. Not just little odd stories, mind you, of odd people he happened upon in the Texas backwaters. No, little odd stories of odd people in the highest offices of Texas, in positions of power in Texas, running the businesses of Texas.

It's downright scary.

I'm going to push this book off on everyone I meet. You, for example. Have you read God Save Texas? You need to. It's a wake-up call for America.
