Reading the book, by Gary Krist.  I am on about page 60, and it is about February 24th  I guess.  Seems to be very well written.

Nonfiction of course, but kind of reads like a novel as the author spins the facts into a time-line story of who was riding the train, why, and where they were going. 

Probably a lot of you guys have read it at this point, but I would be happy to ship it to somebody when I am done with it. 

Three places I have wanted to go for a Long Time now. 

1. Hiroshima 

2. That fountain in Stalingrad with the children all holding hands and circling the fountain. 

3. Wellington

Yeah, all of them horrible disasters.....but all are tragedies and triumphs of the human soul. Smile

I read the book about 6 years ago and enjoyed it.
