Reading material from either candidate usually isn't a great way to be informed.

So far so good. Pretty gripping and the situations surrounding the story makes it that much better to read. Also pretty detailed but not in an overtopped way, despite its length.

I read that book years ago. Pretty cool, but I don't really remember that much about it. Except for rape. Lots and lots of rape.

I don't want to say too much, but you may even find that you have been raped yourself by the time you've finished this book.

Nikola Tesla - "My Inventions" (The Autobiography Of Nikola Tesla)



I am infatuated with Tesla. Such an amazing human being. A light read (about 100 pages). One of three books on him that I'm reading.

Going to start this book over the weekend. Had great reviews from both the new york times and la times. I have been reading more non fiction as i get older, i find real people far more interesting then fictional people. Should be a pretty harrowing tale of a prisoner of war in Japan in World War 2.
