Read any good books lately?
I just finished reading "Enrique's Journey" by Sonia Nazario.
This book brings the plight of those who illegally immigrate up close and personal. The book does not take a stance on illegal immigration, but, identifies many of the reasons and risks people take to get to the United States in a way that humanizes the whole issue. Regardless of where you stand on the illegal immigration issue, it is a good read. |
There was a movie shown on PBS years ago which told the same story.It's called"El Norte". You can watch it on Netflix.

Just got through this:
Brutal: The Untold Story of My Life Inside Whitey Bulger's Irish Mob by Kevin Weeks and Phyllis Karas. Mostly a local interest book. I found it entertaining because I knew some of the folks all of the places and was familiar with most of the events mentioned in it. Gotta take some of these stories with a grain of salt though. This is after all a criminal writing his autobiography . |
Kinda telling who you're heroes are mezz. Are you lace curtain or a southie?
