Why?First because it's worth your time. This is one of the great ones. Clear, well paced, engaging story with themes that resides in the very heart of the collective world's soul.But also because there is an insight into a culture that is so very diffeent than our own--and if we all had this kind of insight; maybe we wouldn't be loosing the lives of the brave American heroes fighting over there right now---or spending billions of borrowed dollars.This is the kind of literature that can HELP people.
