These were the best books I've read/listened to this year.

Set at the US/Mexico border, a lot about tradition vs modernity, early American cowboy life, and the meaning of life and suffering. Helps to give grounding back to the early American spirit, showing even 100 years ago Americans felt parts of that slipping away and were trying to keep it alive in the face of encroaching modernity that was taming man.

**All the Pretty Horses** - John Grady Cole is a character I'll never forget, goes through hell and back after going down to Mexico on horseback with a friend. Voice narrator is very good

**The Crossing** (first part is the boy taking a captured wolf to Mexico, then a really good story about a man who went through tremendous suffering, then realizing that's how God mercifully drew him out of the world, a priest comes to talk to him and realizes this broken old hermit was closer to God than he was, this is sometimes seen as McCarthy's most important book but often overshadowed by the more popular ones).

It's a consequence of limitless immigration, and worker import, which takes jobs and pulls down wages for locals. "They are taking jobs no one would" is also a myth. Many cases where they refuse to hire locals or firing them for cheaper immigrant work.

Ayh refuse to co-exist on this prison planet with them.

It is nearly time for a prison riot.

Almost everybody has a different line on where they would consider Whiteness to end. For example, I've seen some people say Turks aren't White, or that Northern Africans (because of Roman occupation and colonization) are. I'm pretty sure Nazi Germany believed Slavs were not White. I'm interested to know where YOU draw the line, because there is rarely a consensus reached, and I rarely if ever see this asked.

Just please don't start a flamewar in the comments, I don't wanna come back to this post and see a bunch of arguing. Keep it respectable.
