Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin
Fantastic book! Very well written, and I'm learning a lot. I have even more respect for Lincoln than I did before, and that was a lot.
The only downside to it is that it weighs a freakin' ton, and with all my surgical scars it's hard to find a comfortable reading position"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." ~ MLK, 19630 -

I'm currently reading Night Draws Near (Iraq's People in the Shadow of America's War) by Anthony Shadid. REALLY good read. It's not easy reading, though.

currently reading The C Programming Language by Kernighan and Ritchie...it's the standard for C programming - it might be a bit dull in comparison with other selections on here, but it never hurts to keep sharp as a programmer0

You can borrow it when I'm done.
I think the thing I like best about this book is the author portrays the Iraqis almost like they are real people with real emotions! :rolleyes:
One of the captions on the back suggests W. and every member of Congress in support of the war read this.This is the greatest band in the world -- Ben Harper0 -
Nora Roberts "The Donovan Legacy"These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.0

I read that last year when it came out. If you have any doubt Bonds is on steroids (not that anyone does anymore), this will convince you. Really well done and interesting to see behind the scenes."We're fixed good, lamp-wise."0 -
Conversations on Consciousness by Susan Blackmore
The Astonishing Hypothesis by Francis Crick is in the mail.I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire0 -

I'm the same way with Jon Krakauer. I just love his writing style. He could write a book about grass growing and it would be fascinating.This is the greatest band in the world -- Ben Harper0 -
