Conrad - Typhoon & other stories

also: Donna Tartt's new one, The little friend, but I've come to a dead halt halfway through it. It just won't take off.

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 :)

Strange...i passed a credit for borders books to pulp about 500 copies of this title...

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.
