Backstage at the Dean Martin Show by Lee Hale.

I've always enjoyed Dean Martin books, and this is an inside look at what happened on the hit tv show. It's a fun read.

I'd always toyed around with the idea of reading Atlas Shrugged, but the size of the book scares me.

Do yourself a favor, don't get it in paperback.

With that many words and pages, your eyes will thank you for (at least) the regular type-size.

AWESOME book! Really makes you think.....

On the same vein, I'm reading Letters from the Earth by Mark Twain. Another one that makes you think....and QUESTION.

I just read WIJM a couple weeks ago...what a great book

Currently I'm reading Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. I can already tell it's nowhere as good as Angels and Demons or The DaVinci Code...but it's ok.

I really wish Jimmy would write more books!
