I'm officially sick again. I went to bed with some funky-feeling in my ears on Sunday, and the left side of my throat sore.

In the meantime, I would like to catch up on my history (especially since the history the trip will provide is quite biased).

What books do you recommend about the middle east, particularly Israel or the Israel/Palestine struggle?

Remember how I dropped out of college, once upon a time?

Yeah, that.
