Arts & Humanities - 12 August 2006

I'm bored with the space odyssey that I'm reading. Does anyone know of any new or newer books that came out recently with Asian themes or settings? Not little kids' books though. Books written for adults with as least a high school reading skill level.

Everything Is Illuminated - questions about characters in the book?

Lingering questions: At the end, why did Jonathan and Alex decide not to be in contact any longer?

Lista says that Safran (Jonathan's grandfather) lost two babies in the war. One of them is Zosha's. Is the other one Lista's? When she describes her pregnant older sister's treatment at the hands of the Nazis, it becomes clear she is describing her own experience. What isn't clear is who the father of the baby was.

Who was Lista's husband (p. 238)? Perhaps Herschel, which is why she is so angry with Alex's grandfather for betraying him? It would eplain much of the antagonism between Lista and Alex's grandfather.

Why is there an enormous emphasis on Safran's dead arm and hand?

Who is better, Athletes or scientists?

I just can't understand what's with the world' obsession with sports, It has always been my least favorite interest, What's the point if a team wins or loses?!! I mean why should we care?! I think the people who really deserve recognition, wealth, and all the luxuries of this life are the scientists, researchers, etc... Whom we owe our modern and comfortable life to, Ironically most big shot athletes are unintelligent and been lazy at school! Don't you agree with me?
Before you answer just take a moment to imagine your life without technology and your life without sports, Which one would you pick?

Why God allows that?

People in the developed rich countries spend Trillions on cosmetic useless things, Many of them are obese 'cause of over eating, On the other hand the unlucky ones in many parts of the Globe live on less than $1 a day, and some look like walking skeletons 'cause of lack of food, malnutrition, etc...
How come The Almighty who's full of mercy and just allows all this suffering?
