Quote: I remember Lisa Ling from Channel 1 news in the 6th grade.  It was a 10 minute news program for school kids.  It might still be around, but Ling was always very good on it.  Anderson Cooper of CNN was on Channel 1 with Ling also.  

 

Sounds like an interesting read.  I read so many non-fiction books when i got my history degree I have tended to stick to fiction in recent years, but this one sounds interesting.  I like books that show things like this "hermit country" you mention.  

 

A non-fiction book I read that I really enjoyed was "A Viet Cong Memoir: An Inside Account of the Vietnam War and its Aftermath" by Truong Nhu Tang.  It detailed life of the VC on the Ho Chi Minh Trail.  Really eye opening and amazing to see what the Viet Cong were able to accomplish with back packs and their own 2 feet.  Coincidentally enough, the author fought for the VC but eventually fled to the US.  Really good read and engaging.
 

Thanks for the recommendation.  I'll put it on my reading list.

 

Speaking of reading... time to read a chapter or two and get to bed for me.


There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
