Currently reading two things. Give My Regards to Eighth Street by Morton Feldman. Which is selected essays on thigns ranging from Abstract Expressionism art to how sentimentality in music is a major problem. Very interesting!
Also, Out of Our Minds by Sir Ken Robinson which is about how we need to re-work the education system to fit with modern times and the uniqueness of humans.

I haven't read 'The Dante Club', but it is on my list.
I am currently reading 'The Beautiful Cigar Girl' by Daniel Stashower, another tale about Edgar Allan Poe and the murder of Mary Rogers.
I wish they would not overstate things so.........Ernesto Guevara was a grandly misguided idealist.............a convert to the religion of Marxism, one who actually could actually remember and the night of his Road to Damascus conversion, and even called his beliefs a "faith"
Yes, he was self-absorbed, and could be extremely violent..........he chose the role of guerilla fighter over his assigned role of doctor to the rebels.
He was known from the time of his youth as a dare-devil, simply without fear. The accusations of cowardice say more about the authors' desire to demean him on every possible aspect than anything else.
When all is said and done, he was a tragic figure..................a man devoted to an ideal he thought would be the saviour of all mankind, a man who sacrificed himself, and numerous others to an ideology that saved no one.......
If being a deluded loser gets you a t-shirt, then Che deserves one.
