Molly tagged me for this meme, and since she’s one of my favorite bloggers (and if I knew her in real life, I have a feeling she’d be one of my favorite friends), I’m going to do this. Besides, when I glanced over at my bookshelf, there was an AWESOME book sitting near me.
Here’s the meme:

“‘Maybe you should have thought twice before saying that, because I want you to draw a map of the route you took to get from home to school.’
‘It’s a long one, though, because I went into the center of the city, and back out. [proceeds to draw a map on the back of a scribbled sheet] This is all the North Side, OK?’”
It’s a pretty lame quote from a pretty awesome book. Anyone want to guess which book this is from?

I have no idea what book that is from.

No clue where that is from. . . but mine?
“Foster threatened to put the city under martial law in spite of the absence of violence. A mediator was agreed on and an agreement that gave the Triple Alliance everything but the closed shop ended the strikes after just three days. Samuel Gompers, still in his nonracist public posture, exulted in the unity of the workers.”
Nearest book around? One that Hubby is reference for his thesis, “Labor’s story in the United States,” by Philip Yale Nicholson.
Booooring. *L*
