Reading??? For myself??? Not in a long time.

For the keets, though, English Roses (it's really good-by Madonna of all people) and Fox in Socks by Dr. Seusss.

Kavalier and Clay, But I'm having a hard time getting into it can't get past the 2nd chapter

I'm now reading "The Greyhound God" by Keith Lee Morris, who happens to be one of my former English professors here at Clemson. It's his first novel, and it's not too bad. It is about a guy who is a "professional" gambler at greyhound races--his wife takes his child and leaves him--and the books talks about his struggle with that, etc . It's a little slow right now, but it's OK. It has taken me a while to get into it, though, but that may be because I haven't had as much time to read lately.

I hardly ever read, but right now I am reading Richard Clarke's "Against All Enemies." Very informative

I'm reading Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Cardboard Box (I didn't make that title up, I swear!)

For my son, we're reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on alternate nights with the Book of Hebrews in the New Testament.

For myself, still wading through the Purpose-Driven Life, and the Summons by John Grisham.

I just finished reading Waltzing with the Captain by Greg Keeler. It's about Richard Brautigan. One night Richard got mad and knew that Buffett and Jim Harrison were staying at the Pine Creek Cabins, south of Livingston and he and another guy took Richard's truck and rammed it into the cabin Buffett was staying at. I don't know why he was mad at Buffett. It's a great read about the antics of Brautigan when he lived in the Livingston - Bozeman area.

I'm with you, Cap'n.
This book should become required reading in any PolySci college courses.
I hear the film rights are being negotiated (if not already inked).

Maybe America will pay attention come November.

I just finished the final installment (book 12) of the Left Behind series...AWESOME!!!!!

Now I'm reading the 3rd book by Cindy Holby...Crosswinds. The first two were: Chase the Wind and Wind of the Wolf. Also a great series!

The Beach by Alex Garland.

Just finished "Howling At The Moon" by Walter Yetnikoff. He was the President of CBS Records/Sony, during the 70's and 80's. It's kind of a tell all on how the business was run and the artists behaved circa Thriller, Born In The USA, etc. Not particularly well written, but enjoyable nonetheless. I think next will be "A Confederacy Of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole (for the third time). An absolutely brilliant book. Wish JKT would have stuck around a while longer.

Just finished:

SLEEP TOWARD HEAVEN - Amanda Eyre Ward
LOVE MONKEY - Kyle Smith
EVERYTHING YOU SAY CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU - Laurie Drummond
LIVING TO TELL THE TALE - Non-Fiction - Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Am working through:

100 YEARS OF SOLITUDE - Gabriel Garcia Marquez ( for about the 30th time) - I so love this book.
WHEN WASHINGTON WAS IN VOUGE - Edward C. Williams

Am about to start:

THE KNOWN WORLD - Edward P. Jones (this year's Pulitzer winner)

Am trying slog through:

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY - Marian Keyes - blech.

Am waiting on:

The latest from Alexander McCall Smith - The #1 Ladies Detective Agency Series

Meisinger: I loved CONFEDERCY OF DUNCES. Loved it.

I have read all of Anita Shreve's books and love each and every one of them!

I just read "Dive" as well, it had been on my shelf for a long time. Our book group just read "Birth of Venus" and we liked it. I need a good suggestion for our next month's book. Something that can provoke a good discussion for 10 strong women over dinner!

i'm a third of the way through John Grisham's "The Last Juror"

Ya, it's pretty good so far! A little slow in places, but a good story so far.

I just finished Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller and Plan of Attack by Bob Woodward. Both are great!

I just started reading "From a Buick 8" by Stephen King.

Reading Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. It's fiction about the NSA, cryptography, and an unbreakable code. Pretty good so far, for the geeks among us
