The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason834 reviews
Sam Harris
W. W. Norton, 2005
EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS BOOK!
Just read it, it will change the way you view our world. It could change the way you vote for leaders and it could change what you do on Sundays.
The path to a future of world peace is inside the covers of this book if you can open your mind and absorb it. Ignore it at the peril of your children and grandchildren.
Thank you, Mr. Harris

The Lemon Tree: An Arab, a Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East61 reviews
Sandy Tolan
Bloomsbury USA, 2007
Moving, Tragic, Real
This is a sublime work of art, made all the more so by its complete factual accuracy.

And perhaps it's this plain "just the facts, ma'am" approach that makes the story so much more filled with pathos and tragedy.
I know of no other ...

The title explains a lot, considering that Gandhi considered his entire life to be an expirement with the truth.
He is very open about the mistakes that were made (such as his marraige and bigotry ...
