by Luis Alberto Urrea. I just started it last night but I can already tell that it is going to be an adventure.

I just ordered the Border Trilogy by Cormac McCarthy, it should arrive tomorrow. I am looking forward to reading it because McCarthy is one of my all time favorite authors . Just be warned... he is not for the faint of heart!

I just finished The Devils Highway (non fiction) by LAU. It was harrowing. I had to lay it down a couple of times and shed a few tears, but It was worth it . I will NEVER look at an illegal (or indeed call them illegal) again.I thought I had compassion before , isolated from all that here in the mid west but this book has shown me that I had no idea....
