recommended reading.

the bridge of san luis rey, by thornton wilder.

'won the 1928 pulitzer prize for literature. it's the philosophical story of a monk who witnesses a rope bridge in rural peru break and kill five people; he wonders who they were and why they died, and decides to learn all he can about them.' (lonely planet's rather elementary description of a stunning piece of work).
