Read The Blind Side by Michael Lewis. It was cool, and I like the way he mixes history of the game with the biography of Oher.
I also read The Seventh Son by Orson Scott Card. I'm mainly familiar with Card through his Enderverse books, so I was surprised to hear about the premise of this alternate history with a fantasy twist. Anyway, I like the concept better than the execution, but the book was a quick read. I'll probably read a few more in the series.
I'm going to start Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver now, since it's Farmer's Market season. It should keep me motivated to center our diets around fresh, seasonal food throughout the summer.
