This is the book that Lawrence of Arabia was based on, and I picked it up as part of a reading challenge, and because I felt I ought to have read it…I won't make that mistake for a while.  Seven Pillars of Wisdom is essentially 700 pages of army maneuvers and descriptions of sand.  Although it is well written, I found it impossible to keep track of the people, the geography or the war.

This Booker Prize-winning novel satirizes the state of race relations in the United States today.
