"the world's largest human rights event". You pick a cause and write a physical letter of protest or support and snail mail it between 3 - 11 Dec. The web site provides sample letters that you can print up and use as-is. I'm going to write for Liu Xiaobo, since I am familiar with that situation. I was sad to see a couple USA cases in the list. I want to live in a place where Amnesty International doesn't have to fight for our rights! I would like to believe that the US justice system works. |

Also reading like crazy. On friday I got a email from GoodReads, telling me I was behind on my reading goal... only 29 books read this year. WHAT?! Well, that's just plain wrong! And when I did research, I found out it's literally wrong! ;) Actually, I had read 40 books this year. The problem at GoodReads is that it doesn't acknowledge books that I've read more than once. I read Guernsey Literary twice this year, and The Art of the Handwritten Note. I also re-read Silent Spring, Good Mail Day, Fox Woman, and a couple others. Regardless! I still want to bump up my GoodReads number. I read all saturday evening, and finally finished Sophie's Choice. ugh, that was a long, boring book! I'm happy that I can move on to other things now. My new updated numbers:
Okay! That's more like it! |
