Reading God is not Great by Chris Hitchens. No sacred cows for him; he's just been taking apart Gandhi and Mother Theresa...

Finished the "Inheritance" couple of days ago. Awesome novel. Fitting finale to the quadrology.
Although he has left the story a bit open so that he can make a few more novels on it in the future :spy

Has anyone else read it here? A chilling insight into the daily lives of North Koreans. Have just started reading, and I'm already engrossed.

Way to ruin the thread :(

It's a book thread, not a female soft-core porno thread...

I am not a reader as such but finished Rose Madder yesterday. I quite enjoyed it.

Can anyone suggest a book regarding the rise and demise of the Weimar Republic? I want to know more about Germany during the interbellum- the culture, the life, the society, the factors which ultimately paved the way for the rise of the Nazis, and the ultimate collapse of the Republic. I have read a lot on the Third Reich and the Second World War, but the history of the short-lived Weimar Germany is something which interests me more.

Also, how intense was anti-Semitism in Germany after the First World War, during the early days of the Republic, before Hitler and the Nazis attained prominence? Was Hitler just the focal point of the wishes of aspirations of millions of other Germans around him then? Did his brand of racism find substantial resonance in the contemporary society?
