Rivethead



With the NUMMI car program I mentioned yesterday still rumbling around in my mind, I dug up an old book that I have by Ben Hamper, called "Rivethead".  It is a very valuable work that gives a real insight into what it was like to be a auto factory worker in the late 1970s and early 1980s.  I am finding it very interesting to re-read. 

It is a book that is both very sad and very funny at the same time.

    That looks like something I would like to read. Right now I'm reading THE LAWLESS by John Jakes, pretty interesting.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
