Books

I have been doing a lot of reading recent. In the last three days, I have managed to read a book a day. They were:

  • Virgin Suicides - Amazing story, because of the narration. Reminded me why I loved Middlesex so much (same author).
  • The Five People You Meet in Heaven - Not necessarily the best book, but it leaves you with a great feeling.
  • Of Mice and Men - Simply beautiful and very sad.


"In the United States, thousands of people are killed every year by unsafe products, dangerous working conditions and illegal hazardous waste disposal, and these irresponsible corporate actions are not usually understood to be "homicidal" in nature. By excluding these acts of corporate violence from our analysis, we may be reinforcing the erroneous impression that murder is something done mostly by the poor and powerless rather than by the rich and powerful." - The Politics Of Injustice, 2nd Edition
