I really liked Zeitoun - particularly with the way the story is woven and told, and the third part of the book definitely left me with plenty to think about. As for the promo: how much of it do we know is him and how much of it is his publisher?<br /><br />03 nope, but i shall try to fit that into a conversation this week, if not today!<br /><br />04 GOLD! ...ok, now that we're done politely laughing at that, I need to think about this one.

Which is such a great title I was predisposed to love the book. That said, and something is always said, right?, the story whupped his writing. Personal slack for noble causes, yes. For literary, no.<br /><br />02 Heart of tar will be like the Tarbaby, 'Throw me in the brar patch, take me 'way from all dese hipstahs, make dem get a real job.'

Because, talk of tarry hearts aside, I kind of get that.

I think this has to do with where I'm at in life when I start reading something, and both of those texts were weighty ones for me to digest. Both were also satisfying.
