    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.

    What book are you reading?

    Ha! I used to be a huge Artie fan. He was actually the reason I started listening to Stern, but he has really turned me off over the last few years. I would like to read his book because I'm sure they will talk about it a lot on the show, but I don't want to put money in his pocket.

    I've never read any Behan, although I think one of his plays is on my reading list next term. Is he any good? I know some of his brother's folk songs. Good old irish rebel music :)

    We did The Hostage in college. Pretty entertaining stuff, though we went more for whimsy than political commentary. Plus, we built the bar for the show and then installed it in my friend's apartment after the run. :)

    I am finally getting around to really plunging into No Country For Old Men.
    Cormac is such an amazing talent. It makes me ill to think about it sometimes.
    I am going to plow thru his entire catalog now. Amazing.

    I just ordered a book written by relatives of Heath Ledger. I was hoping that a Jon Krakauer or someone of his ilk would do the story right and I can't wait for Krakauer's take on Pat Tillman. I didn't want to read any fluff stories on the guy, but felt that there's an interesting story there. But when I saw on Amazon that some relatives wrote the story with an Australian author, I figured they'd at least have an inside perspective to his story.

    Just finished "20th Century Ghosts" by Joe Hill. Some really great stories in there. You should check it out if you like short stories.

    Now, I'm reading "Why New Orleans Matters".

    That whole mess was treated like 9/11 in Utah...

    glad she's safe, regardless of my opinion.


    Anyways,
    I just finished 'Ishmael' by Daniel Quinn today...LOVED it, to me it was a beautiful book
    and I'm contemplating whether to read my girlfriends copy of 'Great Expectations' next or 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'.

    The picture sounds more interesting, seeing that i've seen the film adaption of Dickens "masterpiece"

    Agreed. And the reason?? Money and the Mormon church...both of which corrupt. (Btw, in the book they compare the abduction to 9/11 SEVERAL times!)
    I am in the middle of Ishmael. I stalled out after a while. I NEED to get through this book, I made a promise.

    Just finished Marley & Me yesterday. I have to admit I shed a tear at the end.

    Now I'm either going to start Ishmael or Sex Drugs and CocoPuffs.
