Just started jailbird. I think it will be my last vonnegut book for a while so I hope I enjoy it.

Just finished the last book in the Percy Jackson Series...

Currently reading The Alchemyst by Michael Scott...It has something to do with the Harry Potter Series in terms of magic but based off of Nicholas Flamel's life.

Carved in Bone by Jefferson Bass. It has a pseudo CSI/NCIS feel to it, but I'm not absolutely riveted by it yet (although I'm only 80 pages in).

Louis L'Amour's "How the West was Won," a good read.

Charcuterie - Michael Ruhlman.

I have a pork belly that is curing for a few more days to become bacon. Debating what I will do next. Maybe some sauerkraut to be ready for the tailgating season.

I finished Decision Points by George W. Bush last night. I really enjoyed it. It told us why he made the decisions he did.

I "like" to spend at least an hour, every evening, with a book and a cigar, in a quiet place. Weather I get to do it or not, well, that is another story. And I spend plenty of time on the inter-net. That is no excuse.

Just finished Cryoburn, a sci-fi story continuing the sage of Miles Versoghian, by Lois M Bujold. A good read, especially if you enjoy space operas.

Also recently finished Catacombs by Anne Mcaffery and Elizabeth Moon Scarborough. Sadly this does not live up to these authors prior works. Story moves along very herky jerky like and the character development which has always been a Mcaffery strongpoint is strangly weak.

I finished this book today. It was incredibly good. I highly recommend it. Reminded me a lot of Sons of Anarchy.

I kept going back to the scene in the jail, when Junior finally loses it & confronts Barbara. Great stuff :D

I read that Speilberg is producing this as an HBO mini-series.

that might be cool, there is certainly enough material to draw from
probably better for hbo to do it than many others, I think the chances for it getting turned into something cheesy would be high (think remake of the shining with the guy from wings)

sobering. Those with kids/grandkids should hope the country makes a quick 180 or they will be living in a third world style country as they age.

LOL, people think the movie's brutal... the book makes it look G-rated.

When I was in film school we actually devoted a whole class period to the business card scene... so good.
