i was at Popular today and happen to flipped through "The Rape of Nanking" by Iris Chang. it was the most immensely sombre book ive ever read thus far. just merely 5 pages of the book left me in overwhelming, speechless thoughts. it leaves me thinking how humans can bear to see another fellow kind suffer in such uncommonly ghastly states. my readings on war literature should have included this work during my jc times. i think i would be able to put in writing better on the many themes of war lit. i wanted to buy the book to read but i cant seem to plough through the book any deeper. it was simply unbearable. this book can instantly eradicate any exuberance anytime for the one who reads. now, im feeling weak. weaker than ever to continue my assignment due monday. i need my energy boost. someone, help?
