"Night"
This morning I finished reading Oprah's current book club choice, Night by Nobel Peace Prize winner, Elie Wiesel. It was a short read but powerful and sustaining. It was raw, honest, emotional, and horrific. I recommend it to everyone.
In reading his prize acceptance speech following the book, these words have stayed with me:
"Human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere." - Elie Wiesel

Joleen, I don't think I could describe it better. It really is a wonderful peice although not without its challenges. I have read it once before and will read it again for my world lit course. I too recommend it and would go as far to say that it should (if it isn't already)a part of more lit classes (perhaps in high school).
i'm putting that on my list "to read"
right now...
i have never read this but i'm planning to purchasing my copy come payday...which is next week.
I think I cried at least 3/4 of the story! It was such a touching and REAL account! I read it a year ago and will never forget it!
Great choice for Oprah spec after the "Frey" incident. This can bring back her accountability.
