SLAYING GOLIATH will be published one week from tomorrow!
I can’t wait for you to read it and send your comments.
Meanwhile, the latest kudo came from an unexpected source: LITHUB.
Its Astrology Book Club selected SLAYING GOLIATH as one of its annual recommendations.
CAPRICORN
Diane Ravitch, Slaying Goliath (Knopf, January 21)
If you really need something to get done, call a Capricorn. These tough, unwavering strivers won’t stop until they reach the top of whatever mountain they’ve set their signs on—which, after reading this book, will be saving America’s public schools. So consider it a service to us all.
Diane Ravitch's blog 
LOL.
“SISTER MARY: It is a sin to follow your horoscope because only God knows the future and He won’t tell us. Also, we can tell horoscopes are false because according to astrology, Christ would have been a Capricorn, and Capricorn people are cold, ambitious and attracted to Scorpio and Virgo, and we know that Christ was warm, loving, and not attracted to anybody.”
–Christopher Durang, “Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You”
Hey, Bob. United Capricorns must protest your depiction of the brand. We include Michelle Obama and Dolly Parton!https://www.oprahmag.com/entertainment/g30022052/capricorn-celebrities-list/?slide=29
Not mine!!! The playwright Christopher Durang. And I’m totally with you, RT!!! But I love the joke.
And Dolly! Isn’t she just awesome!!! Lord, get her and Alison Krauss and Emmylou Harris on a stage together–magic!!!
As a card carrying Capricorn, I also recommend ‘Slaying Goliath’ to all zodiac signs that believe in democracy and public education. This is what we get when an algorithm makes book recommendations before books are officially released. It should be interesting to see if your book winds up on some Biblical study lists.
This book is going to be the Bible of the Resistance Movement. Of that, I am sure.
A very good sign
I can’t resist to posting this again
The Age that will Bury Us”
(after The Age of Aquarius (5th Dimension) )
When the VAM is in the Random House
And stupid is as stupid does
Then tests will guide the teaching
And cranks will steer because
This is the dawning of the Age of Economists,
Age of Economists
Economists, Economists
Ed and stats misunderstanding
Ignorance is just astounding
Tons more falsehoods and derisions
Chetty having dreams and visions
Cattle model mathturbation
And the mind’s tergiversation
Will bury Us, Will bury Us
When the VAM is in the Random House
And stupid is as stupid does
Then tests will guide the teaching
And cranks will steer because
This is the dawning of the Age that will bury us,
Age that will bury us
Will bury us
Let the sun shine, let the sun shine in
The sun shine in, na na na na na….
