I'm reading the Glorious Cause: The American Revolution , 1763-1789. Pretty solid book on the Revolution.

Also, just finished Gates of Fire, Virtures of War, and Tides of War by Steven Pressfield, very entertaining historical fiction

I would seriously think about kicking John Stossell's ass if I ever saw him on the street. That guys bugs the hell out of me.

I am now reading Choke by Chuck Palahniuk. It is read by the author which is going to take me a bit of time to get used to a) after listening to Ethan Hawke flawlessly read Slaughterhouse and b) because he reads it in a distinctly different manner than most other books I've listened to.

So far, so good.

I figured I would stray from fiction for a little while and I started with this and I am glad I did.

I just starting reading Nightwatch, the Russian vampire book they made into a movie. Easy reading but fairly interesting.

Just finished. A real incredible book by an incredible man. I dunno if I could have overcame what Senator Dole has overcome in his life. A true American Hero in my eyes! Highly recommend! All I can say is wow!

Did they actually come w/little tags to tell you to "look inside"? I mean, that's kind of the point of a book, isn't it?? :shrug:

Did you finish Freakonomics?

I got bored with it so I've been picking it up here and there, but I haven't read it straight through.

It's interesting, but not completely engaging like I thought it would be.

I recently read this one and thought the same thing. I liked it, but I was expecting more I guess.

There's a Freakonomics blog out there that I'll probably give a look.
