Playing for Pizza by John Grisham, a nice story about a QB who failed miserably in the NFL and went on to play in Italy. Going very slow with it though. A little over 2/3 of the way done and I got it on Christmas.

I'm currently reading, "We Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families". Very powerful stuff, and although the author can sometimes get sidetracked, the material speaks for itself.

That is definitely a good book to read. That title alone should make people curious about it.

I'll post some thoughts on the whole thing when I'm done, I'm currently about 50 pages away and will probably finish it tomorrow. I'm getting in a shipment of about nine books sometime this week, so I've got some catching up to do. Next on my list is One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Corps Officer. I heard from a friend that it's pretty good.

I just finished the His Dark Materials trilogy. Great books with excellent writing. Book number 3, The Amber Spyglass, was especially compelling. I couldn't put it down and was racing towards the end of it.

I highly recommend these books for anyone who likes great character interaction.

How did you like the way it ended? I personally didn't like and I thought it was a lazy way for the writer to end it.

Born Standing Up - Stever Martin

Great insight for a guy best known for having an arrow through his head.

No Country For Old Men - Cormac McCarthy

I finally finished Obama's book. Tough read as it did not really grab my attention.

But it was nice to read about things in his past that has shaped him into who he is today.

Which one?

TheAudacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream

or

Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance ?

I let my ex borrow Dreams from My Father before I read it; I'll be getting that back soon, and dcr & I both have a copy of The Audacity of Hope coming (thank you, dcr! ). I'm looking forward to both. My ex said he liked Dreams from My Father.

Dreams From My Father.

He's very honest about things in that book. I just didn't find all that captivating.

My wife bought it for me as a gift, I felt obliged to finish the thing.

It was so heartbreaking! I read a lot and this was the first book that really moved me. Definitely not the ending I would have written but it's one that stays with you.
