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

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

I also bought the Keith Richards autobiography to read next.

If it's by McGinty, I read it last year. I thought it was a good read.

Still working on Jailbird but I also started Freakonomics today. I have to review a book for my actuary class so I chose Freakonomics since it was already on my book list.
