Thanks. Maybe I'll check it out when the series is finished.

You're going to be waiting a while. He's 2 years behind on the latest book and has 2 or 3 more planned after that.

Fantastically entertaining.

I read this while on some business flights last year. Very entertaining!!!!!!!

Next on my list is the newest Grisham - The Associate. I think I need to go pay my $0.10 fine at the library before they'll release it to me.

It's alright. I have piles of stuff to read in the meantime.

"Complete Linbebacking"

By Lou Tepper

Currently: Michael Crichton - State of Fear

last read: Richard North Patterson - Balance of Power

Balance of Power was an interesting look into some of the arguments for and against gun control as well as a somewhat (for me at least) disturbing look at how things work in D.C. Very good read as long as you can get past the first 100 pages or so, it starts really slowly.

Oh, since I was stuck without a selected book to take on the last business trip I grabbed McNally's Chance by Vincent Lardo off my shelf - not sure how it got there. I'm about half way through it. Different from what I normally read, but the lead character reminds me of our own Simply Red for some reason.

I just joined that crowed a few days ago as well. Guess it is supposed to be this fall, but fall 08' was apparently what he was shooting for this time last year.

Picked up Ben Okri's The Famished Road. It won the Booker, so it should be good. I decided I need to read something a little bit more artsy after 4000 pages or so of gritty fantasy.

Finished Watchmen, loved it

I am reading 'One Second After' and it is scaring the hell out of me.

It is about the effect of an attack on the U.S.A. using an EMP(or rather three EMPs). The electro magnetic pulse ruins most electrical gadgets; computers and anything controlled by them, data storage, modern vehicles and planes, electricity generators,water supply, medical equipment, phones and radios.

I am thinking of stocking up on food and ammo.

Purchased "The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game" from amazon. I am anxious for it to get here so I can read it. Anyone ever read this? If so, what was your thought about it?
