Willow!

Christopher Hitchins is awesome, but I find it amazing that his brother can have such wildly different views and write for such an awful rag as the Daily Mail.
 
Picked up Hitch's [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Hitch-22-Memoir-Christopher-Hitchens/dp/0446540331"]memoir[/ame] from the Lieburry the other day (will start as soon as I finish my current).

Always been interested by the guy, though I can see why he has so many detractors, by sort-of selling out his Trotskyist ideals in favor of neo-conservative demagogue defense in his later years. My co-worker can't stand the guy.

It'll be interesting to hear his side(s) of the story, especially since he all-out admitted his internal hypocrisies in the title of his book.
 
^ I am going to pick that one up as well. I was surprised to find out about his mother.

Btw, I disagree with nearly all his politics.
