Got it today together with "Der Vorleser", thanx for sending, Tinkaday. It might take a little time for reading. Right now there is some kind of ring-jam here plus two current challenges with lots of books waiting not just to being released but also read ahead.

Just to let you know, Tinkaday, I am right in the middle of the book by now and it is really a splended read!!! (I am through now and just HAD to buy my own copy.)
Just great how he describes his doubts and feelings and makes you understand the uncertainties of a colored person living in the USA and maybe in this world in general. I highly recommend this book and will try to get myself a copy. But right now I have to go on reading. Which takes a lot more time than usual books do as there is a lot more to ponder on along the way.
What I do not really get is how this organizing thing works. Who pays Marty the one who pays Barack and his secretary for the organizing work he does? I do not understand this. It seems something special in the USA maybe because it does not sound familiar to me thinking in German terms and the experience I made while being very engaged in NABU, BUND and WWF work.
If anybody knows more, feel free to let me know.
