    Semi-philosophic/insightful book suggestions

    I'm not sure what the first sentence says, but "by the way" as you said it, I disagree with the second part. The writer can make suggestions, for it to become an answer you have to accept it. Obviously the questions addressed are hardly objective math equations, so in the end I believe it...

    For Russian histroy around WWI try Solzenitzen. (sp?) For African, especially the effect and transition from the period of untouched Africa to colonization I cannot recommend Chinua Achebe enough. Try Things Fall Apart to start.

    Semi-philosophic/insightful book suggestions

    Do you read books for answers?? Personally, I read them precisely for new ways to ask or see questions. The answers can only be provided by the reader.

    An excerpt from one of my works-in-progress...opinions and suggestions welcomed!!

    Decent descriptive writing, but I agree with Ashlea. Too many events whip by to fast to give the reader any sense of the characters or any insight into them or the events taking place.
