Book of the Day.

Darkness At Noon by Arthur Koestler

Koestler made his international breakthrough as a writer with Darkness at Noon. It depicted the fate of an old idealistic Bolshevik, Rubashov, a victim of Stalin's rule of terror.

In his own mind Rubashov knows he is guilty of working for system, that has cost too much suffering. "I no longer believe in my own infallibility," he admits. "That is why I am lost." The book was based partly on writer's own experiences a prisoner and on Stalin's trials. It revealed the totalitarian system and the decay of the Russian Revolution.

First of all, the word is SEX, not GENDER. If you are ever tempted to use the word GENDER, don't. The word is SEX! SEX! SEX! SEX! For example: "My sex is male." is correct.

Hence I am choosing "male" under protest.
