SO the form president of Honduras was deposed (10 or so months ago) for a number of reasons but some of his actions suggested he was aligning with Hugo Chavez...so i read a book on chavez which i probably should have done before now but whatever... here are some quotes i liked

"a man known for moving nimbly through the terrain of ideological ambiguity"
-Christina Marcana

"He would subvert civil protocol every chance he could, he would always take care to toe the line to some degree.
-Christina Marcana

"Though all versions of what happened that day seem to accept the hypothesis that there were indeed sharpshooters positioned on the top floors of certain buildings, the opinions diverge when it comes time to lay blame, and both sides accuse each other of having been responsible for the sharpshooters..."
-Christina Marcana

"you go on deceiving the people saying that you are staring the bla bla bla revolution"
-Luis Miquilena

Also the banana trade has shaped a lot of Honduras' history in the 20th century...so i started this book about Bananas...
