Often, elaborating extensively about a person's psyche can be a demanding task for a writer, especially if he/she wishes to keep the reader glued to the pages. Dostoyevsky achieves it with terrific ease. Crime and Punishment is a didactic novel which superbly dramatises Doestoevsky's view of sin, guilt and punishment.

It is rare that a truly important social question gets expression in a book of fantastic literary sensitivity. To Kill a Mockingbird is the story of a coming-of-age girl that witnesses the wrongful treatment of a Negro accused of rape in the 1930s' South. This is a timeless classic. Harper Lee's writing style is exceptionally smooth, easy, and inviting. It is beautifully written and worthy of any reader's time. The story is delightful and humorous, leading the reader to appreciate innocence, honesty, integrity, and kindness in a time when these attributes were more widely practiced and valued.

2010 is a crucial year for Somaliland. 2010 is an important year for South Somalia. 2010 will be another big year for technology. 2010 will be a defining year on the war against terror. 2010 is the year of Africa. 2010 is also the year where the East African Community will implement a common currency called the East African shilling.

A powerful first-person account of West Africa's bloody civil wars, and the exploitation of the young and naive. Written from a child's point-of-view, Uzo writes it as it is, and does not cloak the atrocities and disenchantedness of war.

^ Yes! just recently. Amazing! The booK explores the impact of globalisation on the western world and how this manifests on our daily psyches. The argument basically underpins how we all put to much empathsis on money, looks, body size, our jobs, our cars, who has the best looking partner and who is happiest. As we all strive for the keeping up with the Joneses lifestyle it leaves us feeling like were missing out thus leaving us feeling depressed and dissatisfied.

A beautiful, moving, tragic and poignant story full of hope and the triumph of the human spirit in the face of extreme odds and adversities. A beautiful and must read novel. The reader’s mind flows with the minds of the characters. A story of redemption and true friendship. Khaled Hosseini did a splendid job describing what was once a beautiful city and an even more beautiful country of Afghanistan devastated by decades of war and under the unforgiving thumb of the fundamentalist Taliban.

10/10!

This book is a must read for anyone who is interested in the UN, international aid societies, Rwanda, or the international community in general. This book perfectly describes the failure of so many parties to stop a genocide, even though they were given many chances along the way. Particularly scathing, is Dallaire's observations on France and the United States who could easily be named as being partially responsible for the genocide.

Rarely will you come across a novel as intriguing and seductive as this. Amitav Ghosh smoothly juxtaposed the endearing cast of characters against the historical background to create a romp that excites from start to finish. Equally delectable is his prose which lures the reader into every episode in the novel, from Burma to India to Malaya. The many love stories woven into the tale surprise, delights and captures the heart of the reader. An absolutely magnificent tale, story telling at its finest.

This story begins in the 1880s before missionaries and other outsiders have arrived in Nigeria. The Igbo people are polytheistic and superstitious, practicing a number of tribal traditions like magic and sacrifice. Okonkwo becomes a leader of his tribe due to their respect for his achievements and contributions to the tribe. Conflicts arise in the story when cultural tradition struggles with change. The biggest changes come with the arrival of British colonization. The influence of missionaries brings about a huge division within the tribes, resulting not only in personal hardships for Onkonkwo, his family and the other villagers, but the eventual disintegration of the Igbo culture. It gave me a lot to think about regarding cultural differences and how our actions based on tradition can be misinterpreted by other cultures

Some people can handle the weather, but for some, the complaints don't end, until the UK becomes an Islamic republic.

Somali People need to wear fragrance. There is a smell that reeks from most Somali people that smells like: a plastic bag that has been stored in a cupboard for at least for 7 months. Its not pleasant runnti. my favourite: Issey Miyake L Eau D Issey Pour Homme

Originally posted by chubacka: EDL is simply a front to be violent and racist, no wonder so many dodgy individuals and organisations are drawn to it. Can you substantiate this? The EDL are an single issue based group. They were formed to stop Islamic extremism. The liberal media ensures that they are equated with yet another fascist and racist group.

This was staged. English Defence League are known for staging and fabricating pictures. The woman wearing the hijab is a trained actress. There appears to be a misconception of the English Defence League, they only participate in organised rallies and demonstrations. Owning to public perceptions, they seldom act individually or in small groups. Also their members are composed mostly of white collars workers who are only protecting their country against the likes of Al-Muhajaarun and other Islamo-extremist groups. @fabregas You seem to have taken what I was saying out of context, and knowning you, probably did it deliberately. Having said that, I am not in cohoots with these people you have mentioned or pretend to appease any person. Muslim have developed a victim mentality and use selective memory to evoke when they are harassed, despite not considering other acts of aggression committed against non-Muslims by muslims. Recently in Eastern Turkey, A church was forced to bring down their bells as a direct reaction to the minaret ban in Switzerland, and yet many people chose to ignore all the acts of aggression committed against non-muslims by muslims. I think the issue here is that Islamo-facist thugs see the world in a one dimensional mindset devoid of any rational reasoning. Muslims like Fabregas see the word as two camps ‘believers’ and ‘non believers’, ‘righteous’ and ‘deviant’, ‘Muslims’ and ‘non Muslims’, . Add to this, these individuals bare no respect for freedom of expression and/or pluralistic exchange of opinions let alone academic or intellectual debate. Such groups people into two distinct camps: ‘believers’ and ‘non believers’ those who show the least dissent are ‘innovators’ or even ignorant, never engage debates with members of the country they live in, who they are usually referred to as inhuman and constantly promised hellfire. This selectiveness of muslims like fabregas and other flock of followers confirms the previous assertion that they continue to abuse the spirit of pluralism and rational enquiry living in democratic country entails. These people need to be reminded that there are prerequisites to democracy and living in a plural society.

They have big ears don't they?
