Stone's Fall by Iain Pears
5.0

Pears has quickly become my favorite contemporary author. This work examines the link between human weakness and the role it plays in events that take place on a global scale. I suppose in that vein it's reminiscent of Tolstoy, though the comparisons should probably stop there. Immensely enjoyable, and, as all great books, this will give you a slight glimpse into your own vulnerabilities.
