From Beirut to Jerusalem (Thomas L. Friedman) **

570 pages. Hooray! I finished it! This took me a few months to read. It's written by a Jewish journalist who lived and reported from Beirut, Lebanon for a few years, then from Jerusalem. It contains some of his experiences, thoughts, and opinions about the middle east, primarily during the 80s and early 90s. It was interesting and I learned a lot, but I was ready for it to be done long before it actually was.

Congratulations for finishing. I still haven't done that. I'm compulsive about finishing books, but couldn't get around to mustering what it took to get through this one.

As you say it is a good book, just too dense, rich, and long.
