This is one extremely hard book to get through. Between the dull and complicated history of the area and knowing that those who would destroy library books and historical writing, it is maddening.

This is really two books in one (the literary history of Timbuktu, and Malian political unrest) and it's making discussion of each one worse

It’s OK. It’s a little hard to get through because it is loaded with data. This is a good story though about a guy who wants to preserve history through ancient manuscripts.

I'm... a little lost. 70 pages about ancient books, and now 70 pages about Malian and Libyan regional politics. Bring it home, Joshua.
