aged-crone.livejournal.comRemember the post a little while back about what books we'd buy if we suddenly got a gift certificate from Amazon or a bookstore or whatever?
Somehow, when posting what I *would* buy, some of the things magically turned into things that I *did* buy, even without a gift certificate!
One of them was AMAZING GRACE, a biography of William Wilberforce. What an absolutely heroic man he was; to dare to fight against the prevailing moral climate, to fight for decades against the evils of slavery until the majority of his countrymen were no longer able to believe or claim that blacks were somehow less than human - and to do it without becoming bitter or vicious or venomous.
Okay, anyway, I think it's time for another book buying question: What books have you bought lately? And for how many of them can you blame Sounis?
