Re: What book are you reading now?

I am at the end of my current read and now have to decide between Goethe's Faust Part One or The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. I am leaning toward Faust.

Re: What book are you reading now?

"Seven Pillars of Wisdom". Lawrence of Arabia's account of the Arab Revolt against the Turks in WW1, (as if you didn't know). Two things especially stand out; (1) The ability of a short, lightweight Englishman raised in Wales to endure the almost unimaginable hardships of life in the desert and indeed to accomplish what he did under those hardships, and (2) the extremely enlightening descriptions of Arab life and culture in those times. What Lawrence tells of the Arab culture actually gives a very useful perspective on current events.

Finished it about 1am couldn't put it down ! Oh my I wasn't expecting that ! But won't reveal it in case others want to read it and don't want it spoiled.

But brilliant ending as I said didn't expect that at all.
