Yeah I sat in a booth next to some loud mouth yankees who volunteered last year. One of them went on and on about how backward but “sweet” everyone was. But her biggest gripe was the heat. I will never understand why, no matter where you travel in the work, you can always tell some loud mouth from New England by how absolutely loud and rude they are.

September is a half-step. October better, even better move the festival to the Trademart.

Which books are being burned? Is the list out yet?

Really? You tried to work in a comment about the federal reserve in to this? Nope.

@KF
No retard
You can’t find certain books about the history of central banking in the library.
That doesn’t necessarily mean the Fed.
It could be about the ECB or the BIS or any other Rothschild bank.
No, you aren’t a midwit. You are a half-wit!
Go back to guffawing at Bill Maher and Larry David.

This is really cool.

KF keeps out a comment focused — allegedly — on the Federal Reserve. Objection, relevance, your honor. KF: “sustained.”

But the dude came back and clarified what he really is: a Jew-hater. He worked in (menacing background music) THE ROTHCHILDS, then told KF to go watch (checks notes) “Bill Maher or Larry David.”

How miserable must it be, to live in a sewer like Mississippi, and having no one to blame for your shitty life besides “THE JOOOOOOOS,” when dollars to donuts you’ve never met one.

Mississippi will always be the same, because of hateful white trash like 7:38.

"You can’t find certain books about the history of central banking in the library."

Or certain books about the history of the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor!

Toga! Toga! Toga!

Or maybe "Tora! Tora! Tora!" but I'm not sure if that is the same thing in German. Anyway, I'd like to buy 10,000 marbles, please - seems a lot of folks have lost all of theirs and since it's the holiday season I'd like to help them out.

I met Richard Ford this year! I love the festival and this move. The festival is one of the best events in the state.

8:36 said, "the dude came back and clarified what he really is: a Jew-hater."

Unless the guy has an Ivy League degree, then I am doubtful that he is a real Jew-hater.

Typical dishonest KF gaslighting kneejerk BS.
The comment was a quote from RATM and mentioned banned books in response to 5:36
He could approve it but he won’t because of his narrative

@9:23 —

The only degree that dude has came from an ad he saw in The Daily Stormer.

Several of y'all have lost your minds. This is great news about the book festival, the location is fantastic, and the weather effects could be solved by renting enclosed air-conditioned tents.

Bill Maher isn't Jewish or even (still) Catholic. Maher is an Irish name and he has made it clear he is very anti-religion.

And you say that, @2:32 AM, like it’s a bad thing.

It’s HOT in September

Not sure which library that nitwit is using, but I suggest that he look somewhere other than an elementary library.

"Not sure which library that nitwit is using, but I suggest that he look somewhere other than an elementary library."

It is a certainty that not every library, from the smallest elementary school library to the Library of Congress, do not have every book ever written. It would be logistically impossible even if any library wanted to collect every one and had unlimited funds to acquire them. Add to the list all the self-published and vanity output. Choices will be made for a variety of reasons. But if a library provides internet access, it is almost a certainty that someone could at least read any available book online, even it is some nonsensical conspiracy crap written by and for people who don't have the foggiest clue what they are writing or reading about. And even if this or that library didn't have internet access, access is hardly a rare thing for most of the US population. The suggestion that some deep secret is being or could be kept by somehow preventing certain libraries from having paper copies of whatever allegedly truth-exposing book is utter bullshit. That every library does not have one or more paper copies is certainly not self-evident proof of the conspiracies alleged in these idiotic screeds.

Since the particular book(s) about the reserve banking system the commenter alleged were not in whatever library for some implicitly nefarious reason, it is a safe guess it/they are among the long list of nonsensical crap churned out constantly to appeal to ill-informed conspiracy kooks on that topic, not actual history books about banking or its systems written by anyone with even a semi-reasonable claim to know what in the hell they are writing about.

My goodness. A simple, informative, and otherwise safe topic is hijacked in the very first post with hate.

WTF? So this great thing, this highly respected book festival, is reduced into a megaphone for hate. Hate of new englanders, hate of Jews, hate of ivy-league colleges. And some really bored snot who wants to show how much he/she hates folks dumber than they (or at least KF). WTF is wrong with you? Insecure maybe? Get help.

No wonder this state is last.

It’s so wonderful. I volunteered at Galloway this summer. I heard an interview with Ann Patchett and one with Richard Russo. Two panel discussions introduced me to new authors (new to me only). I cannot believe this has been happening thirty miles from me.
That was just one place that Saturday. The same thing was happening at other downtown locations. I just can’t see the negative.

I'm not crazy about the location. Most seminars are filled to the brim and if you are 10 minutes early it will be too late .
