Reading lately

I bought Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali on Friday night and devoured it by Saturday evening. Awesome, awesome book. I highly recommend going out and reading it it straight away. It's a remarkable story of a woman inside Islam and where her strong spirit takes her. Here is a wikipedia entry detailing her life. But reading it in her own words is just inspiring and eye-opening.

I picked up A History of The Wife by Marylin Yalom at the library when I went out with Phisto last Tuesday--also very interesting. I am only a quarter into it, but also very excellent. The idea of marriage and our role as women in it also eye opening.

Both books taken together--certainly gives me pause.
