    "Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN" by James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales. Fascinating read so far. Enjoying it. These guys are responsible for "Live from New York: The Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live," another fascinating read and one worth reading.

    Im reading Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann and am actually hating ever page of it. I just cant get into it. And I read tons. But every once in a while you get that book that you cant get into.

    My wife asked me what I wanted for father's day yesterday and I told her this book. I read the SNL book and it was really good. Fast read too with the oral history format.

    A Feast For Crows by George R.R. Martin. Book four of the Game of Thrones series.

    Once I finish it I am finally going to tackle The Dark Tower series. I have read the first three books, but never can find time to finish it due to school.

    I started "A Storm of Swords" on Sunday right after finishing "A Clash of Kings". I'm loving it! I'm hoping to finish the first four by the time the fifth one comes out in July. Doubt I will but it will be fun to pick that one up when I am finished.

    How do you like "Crows"? (Without giving anything away, please!) I've read that it's not as good as the first three but I'm looking forward to it anyway.

    I read the Dark Tower series and enjoyed it, even though I was disappointed with the later books. There are cool things in all of them though. King's imagination is off the charts.

    Crows isn't as good as the others. A big part of that is that not all the characters feature in the book, most noticable is Tyrion. I think it just lacks a little something. I'm sure the next book will be a return to form though.

    It's basically the same format which I like. Reads quickly. I've always heard about the amount of debauchery that occurred in that place, but I am amazed at some of the stuff that went on there.

    Where Men Win Glory - Jon Krakauer

    Love this book! The coverup is mind-blowing. Krakauer is my all-time favorite author! Have you read Under the Banner of Heaven? He (and his book) beget my fascination with polygamists.

    Scar Tissue Anthony Kiedis
    Excellent read, I thought. I felt like i was high when he was high in the book, and low when he was low.
    I agree, it was excellent. It was much better than I thought it would be. Quite entertaining.

    Yeah, I agree. Didn't expect Kiedis to be such a great writer! LOL Although, I guess I probably shouldn't be surprised...I mean he does write lyrics.

    Just started The Lovely Bones. If I had known a little about it I might not have started it. I try to stay away from books that increase my parental paranoia. I had heard the title and knew it was made into a movie, but had no idea what it was about. I found it at a thrift store, its the hard cover without the book jacket. So I just started reading. Well now my daughters are wondering why I no longer make them walk home from school and offer to pick them up...even on sunny days.

    Hey! I told you exactly what that book was about. Granted it was after a few glasses (bottles?) of wine. :D

    I have no recollection of that conversation...must have been the night we drank a few bottles...I am enjoying the book...just acting a little paranoid...

    I remember having to read "The Crystal Cave" in 8th grade. I liked it a lot and have been meaning to read the whole trilogy for years. I even think there is a 4th book out too.

    The Solitude of Prime Numbers
    You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets,
    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who can't forgive yourself
