Right now I'm reading a worthless piece of German tripe called "Austerlitz" by W.G. Sebald....Freaking German Literature class...But to the class's credit, we have read a couple of decent books, namely "The German Lesson" by Sigfried Lenz, and "The Reader" by Bernhard Schlink. I also had to read a book called "The Sorrow of War" by Bao Ninh, for my "America's Wars in Asia" class. It's pretty interesting (not to mention incredibly depressing) because it was written from the perspective of a North Vietnamese soldier (it's a novel, but the author was in the NVA during the war), and it's quite a change to get the other side's perspective.
