Hi ; My favorite sentence: "To understand anything about human history, it is necessary to see it from the point of view of those who made it, not to treat it as a packaged commodity or as an instrument of aggression."

-- Carl

P.S. As far as summer reading lists go, Said included some here: "I would therefore suggest that one should begin with some of the copious first-person accounts of Islam available in English that describe what it means to be a Muslim, as in Muhammad Asad's extraordinary book The Road to Mecca (a gripping account of how Leopold Weiss, 1900-92, born in Lvov, became a Muslim and Pakistan's U.N. representative), or in Malcolm X's account in his memoir, or in Taha Hussein's great autobiography, The Stream of Days."

I recently read The Seven Storey Mountain (Thomas Merton), and loved it.
