Finished Cry, the Beloved Country yesterday. I was right, it was very worthwhile to read. It's not a book that you should read because you expect a great deal of pleasure from it, nor is it a particularly amazing literary masterpiece. It is, however, an excellent depiction of a particular place and time, and a heart-rending glimpse into the human consequences of political decisions. (Do you hear that, Bush, Cheney and crew? Political decision have human consequences!) Yes, definitely worthwhile.

And now I've got to figure out what to read next...
