Another Book Recommendation

i can tell that i'm in a reading mood. now, most people would pick up a quick fiction book for a summer sunday afternoon. i decided to read a biography on a man who was a refugee from the Burundi genocide. i definitely recommend this book. the author is Tracy Kidder, who also wrote Mountains beyond Mountains. he weaves a story incredibly well and you definitely feel part of the emotions that Deo felt (obviously much more muted). it again is another book that should cause you to think about social justice issues. i also mentions that the world paid more attention to the rwandan crisis, but less about the concurrent burundian crisis.

by the way, if you haven't read Mountains Beyond Mountains, you should read that too.
