Tanni Grey Thompson's Autobiography - Seize the Day I couldnt put it down. Fi

Just read Johnnie Walkers autobiography. I enjoyed that, even though it was a bit before my time. Sharon

Oh Carole, did you have to tell me that? Now I want THE MASCOT, and I have not finished reading the book I am on... PLUS I have just bought.... INVISIBLE MAN. by Ralph Ellison. The *invisible man* is the narrator of Ralph Ellison's blistering, impassioned novel of black lives in 1940's America. defeated and embittered by a country which treats him as a non-being, he has retreated into an underground cell, where he smokes, drinks, listens to jazz and recounts his search for identity in a white society: as an optomistic student in the Deep South, in the north with the black activist group the Brotherhood, and in the Harlem race riots. Powerfully told, angry and often violent, Invisible Man goes beyond the compelling story of one man to evoke the lives of millions of African-Americans with an urgency that has potent relevance today. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I bought it through Amazon after hearing about it on the television. I cannot wait to start it, but I know if I don't finish the one I'm on, I will never go back to it. Deanna X

I am just reading this book, I heard Alex Kurem talking on LBC and couldn't wait to read his story. The Mascot: The Extraordinary Story of a Jewish Boy and an SS Extermination Squad Part thriller, part psychological drama, part puzzle with a strange twist, 'The Mascot' is one of the most astonishing stories to emerge from the Second World War. It tells the remarkable true story of how Alex Kurzem unravelled the shocking secrets of his wartime past. With the support of Mark, his son, Alex began to recall how he evaded the German-led execution squad that decimated his village, but witnessed the murder of his Jewish mother and siblings. He scavenged amongst the trees and protected himself from wolves, before falling into the hands of a Latvian police battalion. The soldiers adopted him as their mascot and Alex accompanied the unit everywhere as it changed its identity and duties to those of an SS unit on the rampage. He even appeared in propaganda films and newspaper articles, riding into Riga in a military parade... yet he was Jewish. At the age of five, was Alex Kurzem a collaborator or just a lost little boy? Caught up in a world of war-crime hunters, former war criminals and security agents with unclear agendas, he has since been threatened by many who believe he has betrayed them.
