I had picked it up some time ago on a kindle freebie and yes I did remember you saying it was good.

I have to say I did enjoy it and blew through the book quickly.

I finished "I hoped there's beer in hell". It sucked.
Now I started "Ender Games". It's a sci-fi quintet. So far I love it. So much so that I set my new zombie book on the back burner till I'm done.

Outside the "throne room";) I'm still catching up on my Tom Clancy with Executive Orders.

I can't afford the cost of new books right now and, most depressingly, Buffalo's library system has taken a huge financial hit due to the local and national economies so I take full advantage of the various "library sales" & fundraiser book sales to stock my library. Then, the ones I probably won't read again I donate back.

In my inner sanctum I'm reading As I've Seen It: Wide Right and Other..., written by Buffalo's Channel 2 Sports Director, Ed Kilgore. It's a pseudo-memoir that spans his 40-year career covering Buffalo's pro football/hockey/basketball teams. Being a Buffalo transplant, it's kind of a history lesson for me. I did not realize that a couple of years ago, at 62, Kilgore climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro.

I buy pretty much all my books from the Half Price Books (used book store) $2 shelf. Doesn't look like there are any in Buffalo, but you can shop online and get most popular books for $.99. http://www.hpbmarketplace.com
