Too Many Books To Read
What books do you want to read?
Goodreads:
Khaled Hosseini
I was recommended Khaled Hosseini’s book, “A Thousand Splendid Suns” by someone I’ve been conversing with on Goodreads. While it’s fiction, it appears that this person takes it how Muslims really are. From the critical reviews that I’ve read, so far, my immediate takeaway is that the book is Anti-Communist (the Soviets didn’t invade Afghanistan) and Islamophobic. Others have said that it’s racist and makes the case for ‘humanitarian intervention’ aka invasion based on women’s rights or children’s rights.

Reading update 08-14-2024: Finished with Colby’s book

Thank goodness! I don’t know if I’ll read Pottinger’s book, The Boiling Moat, or not. It’s not available on Audible.
On another note, I hate having dyscalculia! It’s August, not September. I had to go back and change the dates on some of my posts. It’s a good thing that I don’t write checks!

Reading Update: Elbridge Colby
So-called realists are just cleverly disguised China Hawks. They seem to believe that China will mimic the U.S. government’s foreign policy. They’re afraid of China’s rise. I call it the fear of retribution.

The next four hours and 23 minutes will be painful. I’ll probably finish it up tomorrow or Monday.

Reading Update 08-10-2024: Mao Zedong vs Elbridge Colby





I’m alternating between reading ‘On Diplomacy’ and listening to ‘The Strategy of Denial’ on Audible.
