I'm with Gautami on this one, inquiring, about what is going on and what has happened before is what is important to me. Understanding what is happening now is not totally possible but it's important not to look for quick explanations, simple categories of good and evil. But I look for this from many genres.Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511240514127283024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-59337915070028909512008-09-11T10:33:00.000-04:002008-09-11T10:33:00.000-04:00Too much of Sugar candy gives us diabetes.WE need ...Too much of Sugar candy gives us diabetes.<BR/><BR/>WE need to read books on terrorists, terrorism and most important, The Holocaust.<BR/><BR/>So that we get a better understanding of the world and people.

Sometimes, people get desensitized, which can be a sad thing.<BR/><BR/>I prefer to pick books that make me feel good and guarantee a happy ending.
