    Lies My Teacher Told Me :
    Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong
    by James W. Loewen

    Don't delay getting the book - there's so much in it
    that will blow your mind you'll want to get through
    most/all of it and its not the kind of book you can
    knock off in a weekend - you need some time to absorb
    it.

    (I feel fairly certain that the first entry should have been a month or so earlier, because I think that the Jan 1, 1998 club was at my house. Feel free to make corrections and updates.)
