Reading Hiroshima by John Hersey. The writing is methodical and not either sympathetic or apathic, just really a portrait of the lives and the event that it transcribes. Not quite sure on it yet, about halfway through and what is going on is pretty depressing. Certainly a good piece of journalism, but seeing as I don't know much about Hiroshima beyond basic know-how and the history classes, this is much more effective in painting the horror of it than I had previously known. Not that I didn't think it was horrible, I don't want to be misread in that regard, but it was certainly nothing I dwelled upon and for that I feel kind of like an apathetic jerk.
