I'm going to put #38, Catholic Traditions and Customs, on hold for now, and do a little rearranging with my numbers, since I finished #39 already. Gourevitch's We Wish to Inform you that Tomorrow We Will be Killed with our Families will move into #38, and Catholic Traditions and Customs will drop off the list for now. I actually have a new #39 already, and I'll be starting another new book tomorrow, but I'm not sure what yet... I'll write about those in a bit :)As for the book, it is definitely different from other books I have read on the genocide in Rwanda. I really appreciated the history and explananions given by Gourevitch. It made me understand things in a new light. I did think the book was a little heavy on Gourevitch's personal opinions, but other than that, it was an excellent read. Should be required reading for anyone who was alive in the 1990s and doesn't know about the genocide that was taking place in Africa...
