In memory:

Leon Uris died today, at the age of 78. He was the author of one of my favorite books, Exodus. So, in honor of Mr. Uris, I highly recommend this novel. It brings a bit of context to an age-old fight; it's surprisingly relevant years after its publication. Exodus a thick read, but the writing is so masterful that I hardly noticed the length. It has a marked pro-Jewish slant; however, don't immediately write it off if it doesn't fit your political agenda. The book still worth borrowing from the local public library. May God bless you, Mr. Uris.
