Nasser the Last Arab
by Said Aburish*

This one affords a rare B to start the next title.
It own title is, to me, silly. I
realize that many (not all) Arabs admire Nasser, but I
wonder what an Arab of the
1970--Present era would
think about being excluded from Arab ethnicity, by reason of not being Nasser.

2698. Learned Hand: The Man and the Judge, by Gerald Gunther (read 22 Jan 1995)

Thank you, Bookwoman. There is no way I could just remember what and when I read a book. When I was in 2nd or 3rd grade two of my older sisters were keeping track of the books they read and I thought that was a neat idea. So I made a list of every book I had read up to that time--that was not hard, since there were so few of them: in the Depression there were few books in our farm home and we had no ready access to a public library. Ever since I have as soon as I finished a book recorded it, carrying my record book with me wherever I went--to college, boot camp, aboard ship, to law school, and now look forward to recording a book as soon as I finish it. TThe entire list has long since been computerized and in seconds of couse I can find any word or author in the list. I really think everybody should keep track. It is a source of satisfaction to me.
