Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

What do you think of it? I read it a while ago and thought it gave a good account of the Arab/Jewish conflict.

I like it a lot... but so I do with most books of these two....
very well-documented, and makes you think about what the media tries to make you believe....

it seems their new one about New York is a new masterpiece, but I haven't read it yet....

Interesting. I found it to be remarkably unbiased, which given the subject matter is quite an achievement.

I might have to look into the NY one.

I wouldn't say that either...it's a bit biased, but indeed less than most writings on the subject :)

Hey, cool. Just finished Margareta myself. Very odd. Fun, though.

Two weeks and I'm going to Moscow. Watching closely for sunflower oil and trams, of course.

Otherwise, this week I have mainly been reading the Evening Echo. And boy, are we a poor newspaper.
