I have to say that I have shed tears at the news of Australian author, Bryce Courtenay's, recent death. He'd had stomach cancer and died in the very late pm on Thursday - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryce_Courtenay

The most powerful book I read as a young person was his 'Power of One'...and then I discovered the sequel 'Tandia' only a couple of years ago. It surpassed 'Power of One' and its ending will never leave me. In fact, I'd not be surprised if the RotE tale finished somewhat like it. I think I've said that somewhere around here before..but that's all I'm going to tell you.
It's a book about boxing, but it is about so much more than boxing. Read both books, and tell me you didn't enjoy them, and I'll be surprised.
