The world is flat book review | Thomas L friedman

THE WORLD IS FLAT A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century and Globalization By Thomas L. Friedman. OVER the past few years, the United States has been obsessed with the Middle East.

His and hers..

After a long run John came home late at 11.43pm, he tried opening the door already half slept… before the sound of the keys entering the lock, his pet Labrador smelled him and started woofing from the other side of the door, “I’m coming spooky!” with a mild voice and a smile on his face, which only shows up for his loved ones…John opened the door, completely drained… placing his briefcase case in the sofa and now the phone started ringing, “ it should be her… ” taking a depth breath john picked the call, “ Susie you must be sleeping? ” no words from the other end, “ Sunshine!
