    Grex, 1000 splendid sons is a great read

    That is a coincedence. I’m reading Ardnet in Berlin by Adolf Eichmann.

    Do childrens’ books count? I got a ton of those that I (must) read on a nightly basis! Who am I kidding…I freaking cherish the hell out of this moment in my life.

    Skippyjon Jones is a great read! Actually, for a kids book, it is a fun read.

    “The River of Doubt,” but I’m away from home so I don’t know the author. It’s about Teddy Roosevelt’s South American trip, undertaken after his defeat as a third-party candidate in 1912, in which he was in a small party that charted previously unmapped tributary of the Amazon. A great history-as-page-turner, gripping enough to keep you awake poolside or seaside.

    Devil May Care, the new James Bond novel. Also, Snuff by Chick Palahniuk and the new David Sedaris book. And The Great Derangement by Matt Taibbi.

    I just read Hube-ris. It was hopelessly predictable and boring.

    Mike – Is the new Dave Sedaris good? Does it hold a candle to Me Talk Pretty One Day?

    Dom,

    No, not at all. It’s good, but I think his act is wearing thin. He’s almost got it down to a formula. Has its moments, though.

    Mike –
    Did you ever read “Wigfield”? Basically written by the Strangers with Candy group.

    I`m reading A Demon Of Our Own design by Richard Bookstaber, It spells out how hedge funds use the lack of regulation to steal us blind. They may indeed be the main culprit behind high oil and commodity prices, using colusion and manipulation to make themselves and their clients super wealthy, and to insure they will keep it no matter what happens to the rest of us.

    Bye the way I have read obama`s book and it is just as bad as profiles in courage by JFK, which may be a good sign. Both are mindless pollyanna crap.

    “I Lost My Love in Baghdad” by Newsweek correspondent Michael Hastings. Hastings is angling for an assignment in Iraq, but before Newsweek gives in he meets a PR flak from Air America and they start a relationship. She wants to be with him that she goes to Baghdad with him (don’t know why or how she got there, only about halfway through). The title is a bit of a giveaway, but it’s a good read.

    Also on my summer list: KO’s “Truth and Consequences.”

    hube your idiocy escapes me. I only asked what others are reading, but if I implied that I too was reading something well….

    besides we all know Republicans read less. They think they have it all figured out and just need to keep trying over and over to get it right

    For an eye opener on why African Americans can’t seem to pull themselves up by their boot straps try:

    Douglas Blackmon on SLAVERY BY ANOTHER NAME ….. Journalist Douglas Blackmon tells another tale of freedom postponed and denied.

    Monied jokers in the U.S. were trading in humans up to the world wars….and that’s just the tip of the dung heap.
