    I read maybe one of the worst books ever. It isn't written as much as it's dictated and somebody wrote down words. Entertainingly awful. Teed Off by Sherrie Daly, John Daly (the golfer)'s 4th wife. Yes, 4th. On page 2 she complains about golfer groupies, women who look/dress like strippers. On the cover of the book - guess what, she looks like a stripper.

    However, it's so terrible it's kind of fun. In a nasty white trash kind of way. If anyone would like it, PM me and I'll send it to you. The only catch, you have to promise not to throw it away but pass it along to someone else.

    I'm serious, PM me. And it's yours.

    Rereading In the Fall by Jeffrey Lent. I first read it in 2000 or so. I planned to reread it, but I was waiting for the perfect time. It's the type of book to read patiently as it's very well written and worth the undivided attention of a reader.

    I plan to start Water for Elephants today as I hear so many great things about it.

    It really is a great book.

    Emily Giffin has a real gift if you're in the mood for some light, poolside reading. Nothing deep but good subjects and she uses some big words so it's not totally mind-numbing crap!

    I have just started Keith Richards biography Life ... not the best music bio I've read but it's ok for the early days into the story of him and The Rolling Stones.

    I've read Scar Tissue myself - entertaining read to say the least.


    I've read both of those and have to say I love Scar Tissue, reading music (auto)biographies are my favorite and that one is top 5! Right now I'm reading Steven Tylers book and so far so good!
