 I'm not big on reading so I'm gonna try this. I like comic books a bit like Batman and stuff. Not big into school books or anything. |

Just finished Timothy Egan's 'Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher.' Book details the life of Edward Curtis, who sacrificed his life to photograph the Native American tribes before they died out or were consumed by Western modernity. He's the guy who made that famous Chief Joseph pic. Well written, nicely paced, and as we follow Curtis on his quest we get an understanding of what drove this man to forgo all else in life to finish his project. His end was quite sad, but like a lot artists, his ultimate reward is his legacy, as it is ours. Recommended.

yes, esp conspiracy theorists who think they got it all figured out oughta read that.
that book took the author 20 years of research amongst the smartest ppl in the world.
makes one truly understand economic basics.
I also recommend Guns, Germs, and Steel (which receives mention in the book you're reading) and Rise of the Western World: A New Economic History by Douglass North, which argues that the rise of the west over the rest is primarily the result of economic institutions that evolved out of property rights, a book that is only 158pgs. |

My beach read this year is Sarah's Key - Tatiana de Rosnay
Historical fiction ~ Two main parallel plots are followed through the book. The first is that of ten-year-old Sarah Starzynski, a Jewish girl born in Paris, who is arrested with her parents during the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup. Before they go, she locks her four-year-old brother in a cupboard, thinking the family should be back in a few hours. The second plot follows Julia Jarmond, an American journalist living in Paris, who is asked to write an article in honour of the 60th anniversary of the roundup.

Really I do not strain my brain so global this days. I read comics. LOL  It helps me to lighten the mood and have fun. Because I have enough seriousness at work. And things like this http://www.toondrom.com/porn/go/id/343-all_porn_comics/ amuses me.  |

Good, easy read. I taught this book, against Scalia's A Matter of Interpretation, in a course which examined the influence of Classical American Pragmatism (Peirce, James, and Dewey) on contemporary society. |
