Ishmael Part 1

I don't know if I'm the only one, but when I decide to read, I'll pick up three or four books.. start reading each and see what one sticks.

So Ishmael stuck. I've read this book before, but it had been years and it just seemed time again.

I've just completed part 1 and it has left off with the beginning of the discussion on captivity.


Here's a blurb...



"The world is not going to survive for very much longer as humanity's captive. Does that need explication?" (Ishmael)

"No. At least not to me" (narrator)

"I think there are many among you who would be glad to release the world from captivity" (Ishmael)

"I don't know" (narrator)

"This is what prevents them: They're unable to find the bars of the cage." (Ishmael)

"Yes," I said. "I see." Then: "What do we do next?"

Ishmael smiled again.
