This week I'm reading the lies of Locke Lamora, which is about a group of theives in a place that reminds the reader of Dickinsons England. It's a book centering on the past and present of the main character named Locke who has a gift for stealing and acting. He learns the trick of trade of conning rich and stupid people from a blind priest. The book deals with the injustice of poverty and how you will do anything to get ssomething to eat. The only difference in this world is that if yr caught stealing even one time your excuted, even the small children who need wieghts tied to thier legs so they can be "hung properly". it's a very intresting book and a personal favorite of mine.
