I havne't read those particular books, but I'm always gobblingup information.

I'll friend you back, since I've rifled through your journal as well, you're a very good writer.
The only thing that worries me is that you seem to be quite anti-Israel with quite a bit of vitriol.
Other than that side of you politics your journal is also very interesting.
In any event, I look froward to getting to know you :)
