I was going to the store the other day and couldn't help but notice that on every corner along with the usual bored and underpaid policemen with machine guns now there was mean paramilitary soldiers with machine guns as well. I had to go to a few stores looking for something and sure enough, every corner there was soldiers. I even passed a soccer field and there had to have been ten soldiers that I could see guarding it.
Honestly I have no idea whats going on. Not exactly tourist friendly stuff I imagine.

Book Corner - Finished Reading
Violets Are Blue by James Patterson
Paperback
391 pages
Alex Cross Series
Imagine that, I read another Patterson. Without a doubt this was typical Patterson fare, almost predictable.
I need to keep track of all the Patterson's I've read, otherwise I'm going to find myself reading the same book again.
All in all a quick three day read.

Book Corner - Finished Reading
Miracle at St. Anna by James McBride
Paperback
304 pages
WWII Novel
I'm glad I finished reading this book. I almost dropped it to my 'Quit Reading' category, but after a few chapters I found that I liked it. From what I understand the author did a great job in his research so although fiction it does carry lots of historical prevalence.
If your unfamiliar with the book/movie it's about a group of Buffalo Soldiers from the Army's 92nd Division that liberate an Italian town. The story revolves around the relationship between the soldiers, their white commanders, the villagers and the Italian partisans.
I'd say it was a good read.
