    my drive to work is so long and it took practically no time for me to listen to all 5 cds of "falls the shadow" by william lashner. I checked it out from the library. Finished it yesterday. I liked it so I just reserved "the killer's kiss" on cd by him as well.

    I really enjoyed it.

    I gotta get back to reading books in '10. I'm been reading way to many comic books & manga stuff in '09 that you wouldn't believe. Can't promise that i'll stop reading them. It's just, they are so good & fun.

    check out - Asterios Polyp by David Mazzucchelli. It's a graphic novel, and fantastic.

    David Mazzucchelli also did Batman: Year One with Frank Miller.

    Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman by Jon Krakauer.

    Just finished it. A great read. Tillman was a great thinker and someone who will not be soon forgotten.

    Now back to the Dome along with another non-fiction book Mountain Top- about strip mining for coal in TN, WV.

    Shoeless Joe.

    About half way through right now.
    This was made into the movie Field Of Dreams.
    Good book, but I think I like the movie more so far.

    Good book. MacMillan is a very good writer and historian.

    I'm 250 pages into The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. I've been putting off reading it for a long time, but finally had nothing else to read. I'm waiting for Zeitoun by Dave Eggers, Eating Animals by Jonathan Safron Foer and Changing My Mind by Zadie Smith to free up at the public library.

    I just finished this too and I loved it. I only knew a little about Tillman and the propaganda machine that the Bush Administration tried to fuel. Krakauer does a great job explaining what went down......Bush belongs in jail.

    Rereading Louise Erdrich's Love Medicine. OMG! How does she come up with her language - it's beautiful and powerful, insightful, and sharp. I last read it in 2000.
