The Unconquerable World

Jonathan Schell's book was a Christmas gift a couple years ago. Took me some time to get through it. Not because it was poor writing (though it's not particularly lyrical) but because it's emotionally difficult to consider war when your country is mired in one.

I guess I should feel hopeful after reading it; maybe I'm too cynical, but I didn't feel it. Maybe I just need to listen to less NPR news and take more walks in the woods.
