Quote:

Leo Tolstoy - Resurrection

Bernard Malamud - The fixer



Both books were great. Highly recommended.

Tolstoy is one of the best writers ever. And Resurrection was no exception. Great story, very informative on tsarist Russia at the end of the 19th century and (of course) a nice dose of morale at the end.

The fixer surprised me in more than way. I bought the book second hand, thinking it was some kind of thriller/spy novel thing. Wrong! It's a description of the life of a Jewish man in prison in Kiev, Ukraine, in 1910-1912. Gets locked up in solitary confinement, while being innocent. From that point on, it's a rollercoaster of sadistic, inhumane treatment bordering on torture. Very well done and very chilling.

Gill Seidel - The Holocaust Denial (1986)

This is a very, very bad book. It blows. Big time. Avoid it like the plague. Trust me on this one.
