A Final Thought

Since today is the last day of the month, I thought it would be fitting to say one final thing about Fortress of Solitude. I really enjoyed it. It was a story I never would have been exposed to if we didn't read it, and although there were some uncomfortable parts, I appreciate how real it seemed to be. Except the flying and invisibility.

I hope everyone has had a chance to finish reading it. If not, keep going and finish it. It's a great story about growing up, and as you've heard a lot of us comment throughout the book, it shares a lot of the feelings and experiences we all had growing up. It also opens us up to a perspective that none of us really had. Race, drug culture, extreme poverty.

Great book, Cameron.

I'm looking forward to Smurf's book. I've read a couple chapters so far and it is extremely interesting. I'll be interested in everyone's thoughts on this book. It isn't light reading like Fortress, but hopefully less pages will inspire everyone to get more involved. It's very politically and religiously charged, which we can handle. That one of the greatest attributes of our group of friends - tolerance and acceptance.

It's been a great month. I've really loved keeping in better touch with everyone. This has been a fabulous idea Jimmy. Props. Let's all be more involved in March!
