I'm still reading this, but at the rate I'm going I won't finish for another 6 months....I'm reading Vasily Grossman's "Life and Fate". It is excellent and it is the single most harrowing book I've ever read, one continual, continuous devastation. Reading it in this political climate makes it even worse, because it is now a horrifying testimony of the evil of Totalitarianism in the past and a horrifying vision of what could easily happen again in our lifetimes. The fact that you can't read this and take comfort in the thought that all this happened long ago in a place far away to people in very different circumstances than ours is what makes this such a difficult but necessary book to read. I just can't read more than 20 pages at a time.
