I read: I Can Make You Hate - 4 Stars. The title makes it sound far more hateful than the book really is. This is a collection of articles/blogs by Charlie Brooker who writes for The Guardian. He’s smart, funny, possibly offensive to many, and thought-provoking. I would only recommend this to the ultimate Anglophile and those who truly appreciate British sarcasm and humor. Many of the chapters are about British politicians and celebrities.
This picture of him always makes my daughter and I giggle - so British and a look of absolute disgust and just plain yuck :lol:.
I also read Life After Death - 3 Stars - A painful memoir about a young man who spent almost two decades on Death Row in Arkansas for a crime he did not commit. My only complaint is that much of his writing is quite slow at times and he tends to wander off and give far more details than necessary. Nonetheless, this is a book that one does not easily forget. Much of it was so sad and frustrating. I almost gave up on it a few times , since I couldn’t endure any more sadness and misery. My heart pains for all those who are in prison and are wrongly accused throughout the world. False accusations and corruption really and truly get to me. We began watching the documentary today and I already started weeping.
I wish that there was a library near me, any library in fact, but for now I'm enjoying admiring this one:
Please excuse all the change in fonts. I find it highly annoying. Can anyone please tell me what the standard font is here and how I can possibly make it all be as one and uniform? I don't like mess.
