The latest in Dave Eggers fiction (the first was And You Shall Know Our Velocity).
An incredible book that he eludes to in the beginning being based on a true story related to him by an African refuge.
The story weaves a tale of a young boy who narrowly escapes death in his village, first by a guerrilla group and then the government counter attack. He is alone and attempting to make it to a refuge camp while trying to avoid being killed or made to join a child army.
It jumps back forth to his adventures on the run, his time in the camp, and also his life in America after gaining the opportunity to start anew here.
I can not recommend Dave Eggers enough. He is one of the few writers that if he shit on a piece of paper and called it a novel, I would go out and buy it.

Wash your hands and your salad before tossing as this way everything will be hygienically pure.

Hey guys, long time lurker here so thought I would finally post. I’m a little shy because I’m a girl and it seems there are mostly guys here but I wanted to know why it seems you guys don’t have lives. Are the guys with very high post counts really better posters than the ones with less?

A hospital is supposed to help all no matter what to get the business. IF they cant help you why are they even working there? Come on someone tell me that. I am sick of seeing my bf and others suffer. Sometimes the hospital wont even give him pain medichine because he has been there so many times. jordan II kicks

It’s been over a year since your blog died.
I blame myself for pointing you at Facebook. How’s your fake farm doing, anyway?
