bermuda, bahama, come on pretty mama

While in Bermuda, I read the best book I've picked up thus far in the year: The Boy Who Fell Out of the Sky by Ken Dornstein. It's a true story centering around the author, Ken, who lost his brother in the Lockerbie air disaster in 1988.



I can't do it any justice by just talking about it, but its one of those books that had me laughing and crying (kind of an embarrassing thing to be doing on the beach...unless you're David Hasselhoff). I'm not usually a fan of memoirs. They tend to be pretty cheesy, written mostly for the writer's enjoyment and personal satisfaction, while containing no literary worth. Wait, did I just describe my blog? Anyway, Ken Dornstein is a pretty freaking awesome writer, so check it out.
