31. "so then I read The Looming Tower, by Lawrence Wright" In response to In response to 0
I had declined to read it all this time because I thought I simply don't want to read another word about al-Qaeda and them folks. It seems too much like schadenfreude. But Wright is a New Yorker staff writer and this book was nominated for the National Book Award, so I bought it and read it.
And I kind of wish I had listened to my instincts on this one. I think I'm just burned out on Osama and his movements up to and including the terrorist attacks in 2001. Tell me something new, eh?
