Night by Elie Wiesel
Book #102 of 2012: I have finished reading Night by Elie Wiesel, his account of his time as a teenager in a Nazi death camp. It is terse, shocking, and rumbles along towards a horrible fate at breakneck speed. The pages that involve his relationship with his father were filled with agony, still felt keenly after many decades. I began to tear up reading it, and was so moved at his loss that I put down the book and texted “I love you Dad” to my own Father (this, in the middle of the night). A masterwork. Grade: A+
