Haha, and i know what you mean about the long reading lists, recently I've tried to cut mine down by asking myself the question: Am I EVER going to get around to this? And a lot of the books just didn't interest me anymore...plus the local rotary club is accepting donations for it's next booksale, makes things easier :) Yea, it has some pretty graphic parts, but it is brilliant.

I'll have to add it to my (excessively long) list... I may put it off for a while, though. I read <I>Caribbean</I> by James Michener recently and I'm not sure I'm ready for graphic descriptions of slavery again so soon. That sounds like something I’d like to read.

It's really good, I love it. It made me think of Book of Negroes, it really has nothing to do with it and I only made the connection because I finished the book a few days ago but anyway. Have you read it? Wow, I agree how can the reading of this be impersonal?
