the Falls by joyce Carol oates.
Truly a masterpiece!

 

[Year Zero]

Red Heat: Conspiracy, Murder and The Cold War in the Carribean.

Without the pressure associated with study (meeting a deadline, constantly on the lookout for reference points with a highlighter pen) i can relax & enjoy heavy handed subject matter. Having said that, this book is well balanced, in that it's informative & entertaining. It does help when the cast is made of political figures with a certain level of intrigue value ie. Fidel, Che, Trujillo, Papa Doc Duvalier and the major US players. Recommended.

i've just finished it. first of all, it is pretty different from Harry Potter Casual Vacancy is way slower, not many things happens until the end. the strenght of this book how Rowling is able to portray her characters and the life of a little town, it is just so realistic and raw. i liked it, but i wouldn't re-read it, i think i'd be bored.
