Things Fall Apart

So this year is the 50th anniversary of the book Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. I first read this book for an African History class at Cal, then again at some point in my later 20's. I read it for a third time a few weeks ago for one of my book clubs. If you haven't read this book, it has simple text and is really a great read. I think this time, the book really stuck with me. I am older and a little more introspective. The book also made me think about how a single moment, action, interaction can completely change your life. Things can fall apart but they can also change for the better.
