I loved Matterhorn so much. It's one of those books I bought for people just so they could read it.

^^^ Cool! It has been in my 'pile' for over a year now and I felt like genre jumping since and it was a good spot to land. I like it already, although I am just getting into it.
Dragonfly in Amber. I started reading the first book of the Outlander series last Wednesday on the way home from work and finished the 700 pages by the weekend, so now I want to know how the story continues...

They love you so badly for sharing their sorrow, so pick up that guitar and go break a heart - Kris Kristofferson
Finished "The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer" today. Now I started reading "The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn" It's a childrens book, but I really enjoy reading it (with 25)! I'm also reading a book from Yrsa Sigurðardóttir (don't ask me how to pronounce her name). She's from Iceland.

Devil in the White City was great. If you like it try In The Garden of Beasts by the same author. Not about Chicago, but about Berlin when the Nazis started to flex their power ramping up to WWII.

Wow, took me weeks to finish Matterhorn -- travel for work, baby stealing all will to stay up and read when spare time is there....and in the end I am glad I couldn't lock myself away for a weekend and crank through it. This allowed plenty of time to really reflect on what I was reading and how beautiful/disturbing it was and second --- I think I would have sobbed over the ending like a child had I stayed locked in his world for a few days. What a heart wrenching book --- and it makes me angry our current situation like this for those poor bastards that we are putting in harms way for the last 13 years in Afghanistan. Fuck, makes me very angry.

Halfway through Mike Tyson Undisputed Truth. That man did some bad things in his life.
This book surprised me a great deal. For anyone in the U.K., read the book. Speaks about your farming practices and the private estate owners.
Book is written between the authors personal experience and journey plus scientific research.

I am mid way through a Michael Crichton book called "Airframe." Its pretty good. It's about an quality assurance investigation over an airplane after a suspicious mid air flight incident which killed a few people, and injured a bunch more. Meanwhile, this airplane company is trying to seal a deal with China for some airplanes. It's getting pretty suspenseful.
Anyhow, I want to finish it so I can start reading my next book; "Scar Tissue" by Anthony Kiedis.
Finished 'running with scissors' by Augusten Burroughs.
I was in the bookstore and for some reason I picked up this book after searching 'social change'. This memoir is definitely about 'social change'. haha. What a trip!
