Over all it is pretty interesting. Cordingly does a fair job of sperating the fact from the fiction. With one exception, I've been pretty happy with it to this point.

On a John Irving kick. I have just over a chapter to go in The World According to Garp. Next up, A Son of the Circus.

I am slugging it through the NON fiction book Being No One by MIT's Thomas Metzinger. The notion of self as being superflurous to existing. Don't ask anything more until I am further in to it. If you know about it feel free to comment.

I thought Jon Gruden was the reason you became a Buc fan.

Good read.

Yet another reason not to have faith in the justice system in this country.

Just finished 'Soldier of Sidon' by Gene Wolfe, a sequel to his 'Latro' novels (Gene Wolfe Rocks). Shopping for Cormac McCarthy's new book "The Road" and waiting for the library to deliver Mark Steyn's "America Alone".

The Evaders - it's about the airborne troops that were cutoff by the Germans when the allies failed to take Arnhem during operation Market Garden, WWII. Hundreds os soldiers helped by the Dutch resistance wer able to avoid capture and return to allied lines.

AND
Cafe on the Nile - fictional mind candy.

AND
Americans Through the Lens - pictorial of America through the 1900s - neat pictures.

I was reading Joyce's "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man". It was tough, imo. I hate doing this, but I put it aside for "A History of the Arab Peoples" by Hourani. This has been good so far, as expected. If you have an interest in the subject, or have a strong desire to be introduced, you might want to check it out.
