![]() A very complex book that deals with a lot of touchy subjects set in South Africa. I'm not gonna lie though, what I loved most about this book was the prose. The writing was just so crisp and economical. He manages to say so much, with such PRECISION, using so little. He also carefully weaves some very pretty and incisive metaphors into his writing as well. I think anyone who wants to learn to write better should carefully study this book. | ||

![]() http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spirit_Level:_Why_More_Equal_Societies_Almost_Always_Do_Better Great book filled with lots of compelling facts on how income differences correlate with all sort of problems in a society. Not only among the poor in that society but through all of society. ![]() Interesting read. ![]() Rereading LotR as a slow project when I have no other books near me. | ||

The next one (Crossroads of Twilight) made me stop reading the series until I heard that book 11 had come out and was good. It was. 12 (written by Sanderson after Jordan's death) was also really good. 13 comes out in November. Also want to say that this: On April 14 2010 08:01 HazMat wrote:For Whom The Bell Tolls right now. ![]() Is an incredible book. I recommend it highly. | ||
