Read this off and on over the last several months. It's been tough to get through, but an amazing journey.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_Rites_(novel) by Jim Butcher. Harry Dresden number 6. Nice brain candy.
A Short History of India and Pakistan by T. Walter Wallbank. This is the 1958 edition, which has been revised slightly from the original. I've just started it, but at this point, it seems a bit Pro British with a bit of Colonial Apologism on the side, but not as much as I was expecting. It's remarkably objective for the time when the book was written. It's also interesting to see what the British attitude was towards the Middle East (Jordan/Israel/Palestine/Syria area) and the Far East (India/Pakistan) at the roughly the same time. It's also a bit uncomfortable to see how little has changed in Western attitudes towards the area. and.... The Handbook of Needlework by Miss Lambert. Found on Google Books, as it's from 1901 ish and in public domain. Very good, super interesting! |

HOME by Toni Morrison.
I'm only about one quarter of the way through it. Morrison's ability to build character is blistering. However, at a quarter way through, I am still unsure of the real meat of the story line. How can I be worried about it as, after all, it's Toni Morrison. I could probably read her grocery and to-do list and be glued. |
