    Oh, great, let’s swap garbage op-ed’s for garbage airport pop-science books. Why not recommend Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, next? Or maybe Rich Dad, Poor Dad?

    Some lovely reviews about The Fourth Turning:

    many academic historians dismiss the book as about as scientific as astrology

    cyclical theories tend to end up in the Sargasso Sea of pseudoscience, circling endlessly (what else?). *The Fourth Turning is no exception.

    their predictions about the American future turn out to be as vague as those of fortune cookies

    as woolly as a newspaper horoscope

      I haven’t read those books, so I don’t have an opinion on them. You haven’t read The Fourth Turning, so maybe you shouldn’t be so set on your opinion of the book.
