Worked late almost every night this week.

Got to listen to NPR's FRESH AIR on the way home.

THE SPIRAL STAIRCASE - Karen Armstrong.

KISS ME LIKE A STRANGER - Gene Wilder

Judgment Days: Lyndon Baines Johnson, Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Laws that Changed America.

All non-fiction, which I don't usually read, but the author interviews were very compelling.

Anyone still reading Tim Dorsey's Caddilac Ranch? I'm 3/4 of the way through - God I love Serge and this is soooooooo wrong

Tim will be in Denver in a couple of weeks so looking forward to seeing him again and getting yet another of his books autographed

I don't care for Dorsey. Too much violence for me.

Am reading NIGHT FALL about TWA Flight 800 crash near Long Island in 1996. WOW. Can hardly put it down. HOW did I miss this one when it came out? I love DeMille. Oh, well. Pleasant surprise. I'm headed back to the book.

IF you were ever a Robert Ludlum fan, I highly recommend NIGHT FALL, Nelson DeMille's fictional account of the crash of TWA Flight 800 off Long Island.

Very, very interesting reading. Kept me up until 2:30 this morning.

This man has connections.

I just started reading Three Nights in August by Buzz Bissinger and Tony LaRussa about a three game series in 2003 between the Cards and Cubs told from manager Tony LaRussa's point of view. I'm only a few pages in, but I'm really enjoying it. Bissinger is also the guy who wrote Friday Night Lights.

Key Weird was cute. I'm at the goopy stage of the cold (TMI I expect)

I thought of Key Weird immediately.

I agree 100% - I can't remember when I've enjoyed a (non-tropical, related to tropics, florida) book so much. Even if 1/10th of what he wrote is factualy - I'm scared

PERFECT book for Mr. Mojito. I'm going to order for his Father's Day.

Thanks for the tip.

And check out the websites devoted to Fight 800. . . it's amazing. Mr. Mojito is reading it now.

I haven't been to most of those sites. Just realize that any of them that are still trying to say that the Navy accidentally shot down TWA800 (as my brother believes

) are out to lunch.... Why? Because you could NEVER shut up that many sailors. One of those kids making about $20K a year for working his/hre butt off would have, by now, sold their story to the National Enquirer.
