What's A Peasant To Do?
An interesting test for a book is to read it aloud and see how it stands. Since we have to take the occasional long car ride, my husband and I have picked through quite a few books this way.
We saw Professor Bess give a presentation on Georgism at the annual Front Porch Republic Conference. He was erudite, witty, and engaging.
Unfortunately, the style of the lecturer carries over into the structure of the book. I could feel myself growing impatient, repeating aloud the same sentiment. This happened numerous times, and eventually we decided to just read it on our own. Even then we were both frustrated with the didactic style. It works as a professor; as a reader, I was hungry for more information, and less icing.
He may be a great professor of architecture, but his book could have used some archit-editing! A-bum-bum.
