I read 1776 two weeks which was a very enjoyable read (i am not a history buff, but it was very enlightening, the stuff they don't teach you in school). Did some light reading over the weekend/monday train ride, Bill Maher's "New Rules" which was very funny in parts(even if you disagee woth his politics as I do). Last week I read Reed Arvins "Blood of Angels" a death-penalty/legal fiction including a plot line with the "lost Dinka boys", also a page turner. I am currently reading another of his books "the last goodbye" which is pretty good so far for the first 130 pages (mystery based in Atlanta conveergence of drug culture, morality, business, and opera). I have John Stewarts American History in the night stand to start and then hope to read Vonneguts "A man without a Country" or "Freakonomics".
Later. Find a good book.
