Stories From Rwanda sat by my bed for weeks... and I would look at it, KNOWING that I needed to read it. And I couldn't. It was so heartbreaking to think about, I was reluctant to submerge myself in its words. Totally selfish on my part. So hats of to you for such a stellar reading list. You are awesome!!!
Great idea. I just finished a book by a South African writer and am now reading one by an Ethiopian-American. I love it - it has these little hints of Ethiopian culture. It's called "The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears" in case you're interested.
Oh I'm so stupid! I swear I looked at your reading list before I left that last comment. I think I need a nap.
