Journal Entry 3 by AnonymousFinder on Wednesday, October 21, 2009

The book was sitting on a table outside the place where I ate lunch. Its my first BoookCrossing experience, and I'm totally hooked.

Its a good book that has a raw feeling to it, and leaves you thinking afterward. It doesn't have any "pity me" rhetoric, but rather just tells stories that are descriptive and very engaging. I feel like its a call for change, and even though its words come from the Apartheid era of South Africa, I feel like its completely relevant today. I sometimes feel like half of our own country doesn't even have a clue how difficult and painful life is for the other half of our country. And then I read this and am left thinking that the "suffering" half of our country has no idea how hard life is in other places of the world. And I'm not even speaking of electricity and health care and clean water, etc. I'm thinking of things like true oppression, hopelessness, and stagnation. One of the stories in particular had too gruesome of an ending for me to actually enjoy, but just because our world is disgusting doesn't mean we should be thinking about it.

I am going to put this book in the student lounge at Ave Maria School of Law here in Naples.
