A fascinating story of a young man whose father was one of the founders of Hamas. Tells of his teens, going to prison, being recruited by Israel as a spy, and his ultimate conversion to christianity. His take on things and his perspective is fascinating.
For fiction, I’ve been working my way through James Clavell’s books. So far I’ve finished:
Shogun
Taipan
Gaijin
Nobel House
King Rat
and now working on Whirlwind. Really enjoyed all of them.
My wife recently finished “The Help” and she loved it, but I couldn’t get into that much.
Last summer I read “Water for Elephants” and really liked that.
Also recently finished “The Drunkard’s Walk, How Randomness Rules our Lives.” Found it very interesting too.
