p.s. on books

What a disappointment, Paul Auster's New York Trilogy. I had liked his other books a lot, and had been looking forward to this "classic" as my first vacation reading. More promising is Barack Obama's Stories from My Father, which I found at the library here. I have never read anything by him, but thought this would be a good start. It's a nice, easy read, an autobiography that he was requested to write at the age of 33 (!), so quite a while back already. The main theme is race relations and racial identity. The book reminds me of the first time my eldest was allowed to watch TV, when Obama visited Berlin during his first election campaign. How much has changed since then. Hope and Change...
