Decline and Fall

I'm reading Sherri Tepper's Gibbon's Decline and Fall. It's really kind of eerie reading a book about a fundamentalist attempt to take over the U.S. written in 1996. Many of the passages could've come straight from current events - "People will believe anything if you repeat it often enough."

One of our FSG events will require many blankets - so if you are coming to FSG please bring some old blankets that we can use :-) If you're local to me and have old blankets that you could donate (preferably drop off as I don't know if I'll have time to go fetch them) let me know. I'll be eternally grateful (for at least a week anyway).
