I bought _Blowback_ and _Che_ today, and I have a question
Edited on Tue Mar-16-04 01:04 AM by messiertom
Blowback is one book for which I've seen nothing but positive reviews. is the biography of Che Guavara, one of my personal favorite revolutionaries. It is about ~750 pages.

To anyone who has read these books: should these two together be able to occupy about 30 hours of time for an reader with very above average speed (not speed reading like JFK)? Blowback looks like I could finish it in about 2 hours, maybe 3.

My trip to Europe will consist of about 16 hours of flight time, as well as about that much in bus travel. I need something to do when my friends are sleeping or whatever (on one particularly long segment, I will not be on a bus with any of my friends :(), my CDs get repetitive, and the scenery gets boring (if it ever does in Austria!)

On edit:

PS: I bought all of this at Barnes and Noble today. I turned two Ann Coulter books (Slander and some other one) and the fake-patriotism Sean Hannity book backwards.
