What are you reading the week of May 26, 2013?

[Curmudgeoness]

10. I have to agree

that it is rather a stretch that the characters were all right in the middle of some major events and interacted with so many major players in history. If you think that is silly, you will be in awe of how they do even more in WOTW. But I suppose that there isn't any easy way to deal with a novel looking into personal lives of people living through history, as well as dealing with the history itself. I had to give him credit for finding a way.

I also did not know all that much about the reasons for WWI, and I have to say that it was the stupidest reason I could invent to take the lives of millions of people. Pride......what a crock. And we haven't learned a thing.

I had also taken a break between books, simply because I had to wait on the long list of people at the library.
