Osho
I read widely and in most genres but romance and westerns. Here you'll find my reviews since 2007, with a few reviews of previously read books as well.
In 2012, I completed an "authors of the world" challenge, reading a book for every country (and a few other entities) by someone who'd lived there for at least two years. I expect to tag these books by challenge and country in the near future. I'm still refining my list by adding books that better meet my challenge criteria.
Zeitoun
Another--what?--ethnographic novel? assistive memoir? by Eggers. I appreciated the journalistic neutrality, but at times felt that this distance made Kathy seem more histrionic and Zeitoun more arrogant. If I were Eggers, I'd have ended with a quote from the Qur'an, since they were interspersed. I read a World Book Night copy that I gave to someone who hadn't read it, who then asked me to read it so we could discuss it. I then handed it to another American in Africa.
