I just finished Rant...my least favorite of the Palahniuk books that I have read. It was a slow read to say the least.

"The Yiddish Policeman's Union" by Micheal Chabon


I really like Chabon. He writes a really readable novel. This one is no exception.

The computer screen...HA.

I bet this is one of many posts that state that lame joke.

Cesar Milan's Dog book.

Pretty good, but he pretty much says that 95% of us shouldn't have dogs, and should be a cat.

I agree but unfortunately my wife does not.

Agreed. Every time we go out of town for a week it costs a ton of money to board our two dogs! Last time it was more than a week and the tab came to $400! Next time it's a cat. My mom had one that you could put food out, it was an outdoor cat so no cat box, and the neighbor only had to check on it's food and water every couple days. Our dogs would eat all the food, spill the water, and be dead in like two days time. And I have smart dogs! LOL!

"Coyote Blue," by Christopher Moore



From Christopher Moore, author of Fluke, comes a quirky, irreverent novel of love, myth, metaphysics, outlaw biking, angst, and outrageous redemption. As a boy growing up in Montana, he was Samson Hunts Alone -- until a deadly misunderstanding with the law forced him to flee the Crow reservation at age fifteen. Today he is Samuel Hunter, a successful Santa Barbara insurance salesman with a Mercedes, a condo, and a hollow, invented life. Then one day, shortly after his thirty-fifth birthday, destiny offers him the dangerous gift of love -- in the exquisite form of Calliope Kincaid -- and a curse in the unheralded appearance of an ancient Indian god by the name of Coyote. Coyote, the trickster, has arrived to transform tranquility into chaos, to reawaken the mystical storyteller within Sam . . . and to seriously screw up his existence in the process.

Book two of Shaara's WWII trilogy. Book one was good. Book two is really good.

From Publishers Weekly
The realm of comic book heroes and villains gets a dose of realism in this whimsical debut from game design consultant Grossman. The story shifts between the perspectives of Doctor Impossible, a brilliant scientist turned world's greatest menace, and Fatale, a lonely cyborg and the newest addition to the venerable group of heroes known as the Champions. Though he's been out of commission for a while, Doctor Impossible hatches a scheme to knock the planet out of orbit ("As the Earth grows colder, my power becomes apparent, and the nations submit," he reasons). Meanwhile, Champions leader Corefire goes missing, and Fatale has to learn the ropes of superherodom as the conventional climactic showdown (at Doctor Impossible's secret lair) draws near. However fantastical, the characters (including a "genetic metahuman" and "an elite fairy guard") are thoughtfully portrayed, with Fatale—stuck in a perpetual existential crisis—bemused over the Champions' purpose, and Doctor Impossible wondering "whether the smartest man in the world has done the smartest thing he could with his life." Grossman dabbles in a host of themes—power, greed, fame, the pitfalls of ego—in this engrossing page-turner, broadening the appeal of an already inviting scenario. (June)

Okay, this was actually pretty good. Probably nothing new for the experienced health reader, but I really enjoyed reading about the dieting/workout habits of my favorite actor of alltime.

There wasn't' really anything groundbreaking. Just eat real foods and work out really hard.

Fun read if you're a Sly fan though.
