Dispatches from the Edge by Anderson Cooper

  1. -Not as good as Watson’s Where War Lives, but interesting and timely. Lot’s for everyone here: world conflict, personal tragedy, intelligent insight, current events and celebrity.

“So the short answer to "Why do you write?" is - I suppose I write for some of the same reasons I read: to live a double life; to go places I haven't been; to examine life on Earth; to come to know people in ways, and at depths, that are otherwise impossible to be surmised. Whatever their other reasons, I think all writers write as part of this sort of continuum: to give back something of what they themselves have received.”        -       Margaret Atwood
