Thaiger Talk Quiz #283 - Book shops in Thailand
A good book I read recently was The Heart of Everything That Is: The Untold Story of Red Cloud, An American Legend. The gist of the book is set during the American Civil War and follows the epic quest of Sioux warrior and leader Red Cloud, a strategic genius who managed the extraordinary feat of uniting enemy native tribes for the greater imperative of their own survival. He inflicted the US Army their only defeat and was a feared and respected opponent… though ultimately the US had a never-ending supply of cannon fodder and also technological means (the invention of the Colt was decisive) and nothing could be done to change the tragic outcome. It is also a very interesting depiction of the American Civil War and its aftermath, the talks and decisions made behind the scenes during Red Cloud's War, the protagonists of the Oregon Trail, and last but not least, this fascinating yet dubious notion of a “promised land” and everything good and bad it entailed. It is a great immersion in some of the most tumultuous times in US history, well written, gripping and factual, and essential, IMO, to fully grasp what is happening in the US in current times. -

News Forum - Man arrested for abusing disabled sister and children in Chumphon
The man, Chai (pseudonym), was reported to have been under the influence of drugs and alcohol at the time of the abuse. This is the common excuse that is given in most of the cases. May be there should be a common punishment for such common excuse. Hang him upside down and whack is buttock till bleed so that next 21 days he cannot squat on the toilet.
