read this if you wish to have a better understanding of the situation in Iraq.
That is such cool book. I like the book way better than the movie because you can use your imagination with books better than watching movies.
Book #26 of 2009 Back to the serious side of things I guess... I've been chewing on this book for a couple of days now, never being really invested in it to make a big to finishing it, certainly not devouring it like the last five books or so. I'm not even really sure how I feel about it. Its almost anticlimatic in a way. The whole book builds up to this supposedly huge catastrophe, which isn't really a catastrophe at all, but a decision moving life one way instead of another. But the supposed catastrophe isn't even really the point of the book, it's the narrator's view of said catastrophe that is really the purpose of the book it seems, and the climax is such a small mental shift in the way she looks at "the catastrophe". The narrator herself isn't really an overly likeable character in my opinion. When she talks about her younger self she just seems so selfish. But then again, she was a kid so I guess that is to be expected. And when she talks about her adult self, she seems so aloof, emotionally univnested in much of anything.
Interesting stories, some a bit surreal, almost fable-like, but vivid and concrete.
