Music Head Wrote:
Not very well written but it sure was interesting. Written by one of Castros sidekicks back in his early days. She knew him when he was a struggling terrorist. She was close to being one herself, due to some hate being built up for Batista. Of course one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. Some good history starts this off telling how previous Cuban dictators came to power. Then along came Castro to save them. He and his hombres were hiding out in Mexico when Teresa hooked up with them, gave them a place to stay and to hide their gradual build up of arms and ammo. It wasn't until after his revolution that she figured out these might not be the right guys to have control of the country. Shortly after he started executing his opposition. Woops, too late. The book ends way too early of course, as the man had only had power for a couple of years. Teresa got the message after she saw Castro hosting Kruschev. She departed the country for good and wrote this book.
Grade - B
next up - The Prize by Irving Wallace

This sounds very interesting. My In-laws fled Cuba in the 1970's. My Father-in-law worked 2 years in a sugar cane field in exchange for being able to leave. My mother-in-law took a plane to Spain and then headed to the U.S. where they met each other. I was just talking to my son the other day about communism and why his grandparents left it for the U.S.A., I think it's an interesting part of their family history that they should know about and I'd like to know more of the history myself.

I have finished the first 5 books in the Game of Thrones series. I am patiently awaiting the 6th and 7th. I really like this series. I'd give it *****five stars.

Right now I'm reading Wizard's First Rule by Terry Gooodkind. It's not nearly as good but it will do while I wait

Just finished this book, great read ( I am bias though, because my mentor wrote it, but definitely worth the read either way)

Mr. Ives is 75 years old before he breaks down and goes to visit the man and all is forgiven. The book is about dealing with a tragic event and forgiveness in general.
Grade - A
next up - Years Of Renewal by Henry Kissinger

A several month old Fortean Times magazine. I love all the weird myths, legends and ghost stories as well as the real life strange happenings. Sometimes the truth really is stranger than fiction.

...because ALL religion is basically the same!
ALL religions are peaceful and full of love....it is idiots on ALL sides that twist the words to suit their own purpose...
and Jesus Christ is actually classed as a prophet in Islam.
to understand both sides of any arguement/issue you need to be able to see both sides equally to make an informed decision of pros and cons of both...
