A most wonderful blog that was supposed to be about the books we're reading, but is rather mostly about Elly Kushner

Night
When I initially looked at the book list Night by Elie Wiesel caught my eye. It was one of the few I'd heard of and I'd also heard about it from a friend. My friend told me that Night is what caused her to lose her faith, because if there was a God he wouldn't have let something like that happen. So with that ever so inspiring and highly uplifting recommendation I went and got the book. Right now I'm about 40 pages in and it's already very horrible, to think that this isn't just a book, not just a story written to have a deep moral. It's something that happened to real people, it's crazy, very hard to think about that happening.

That's a very heavy book to pick up on your own. Seriously, Kudos to you. (That, combined with the stuff we're doing in class--a lot to swallow.) So what did you think of it?
