I just started, "Rammer Jammer" It's about sports fans in general and Alabama football fans in particular. The author talks about the culture shock of Columbia U where no one cared about football.

In the first chapter he says that aetheist outnumber non football fans in the State of Alabama. Also, more money is bet on sports from Alabama than any other state except Nevada. Gambling is illegal here. Yeah, you could say sports are big here.

I restarted the Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes Vol I. I got about 500 or pages into it a few years ago and then put it down. I started last night at around page 600. I'll probably finish it since there's only maybe 200 pages left.

I often read a couple of books at a time

Morning coffee: Rachel Ray's 30 minute Entertaining. (my 20 year old son thinks she's hot and I like her recipes)

Lunch or whenever I can grab a few moments: Triathlete's Handbook Joe Friel(?)

Cozy in bed reading: the new PDJames that I just picked up last night. (I think Adam Dalgleish is hot, at least in my imagination)

i'm reading Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides (the guy who wrote The Virgin Suicides). it's fiction, about a girl who eventually figures out she's actually a genetic male with a birth defect. and all about his/her Greek family. it's super-good!

Ha Ha! My wife loves her. She has used many of her recipies. I can't stand the way she talks with her hands. Drives me nuts.

I was looking at some WWII books last night at Borders. I know I am getting some gift cards from there for Christmas/Birthday so I will probably pick of copies of them.

Can't remember the names of them though.

I still need to read Desert Soliatre. The book Grizzly Years that I've mentioned here before is written by a guy that's good friends/traveling buddies with Ed Abbey.

School is out and I am sucking in mind candy...Life Expectancy by Dean Koontz

I watch Rachel Ray, but she can be annoying. My husband hates her voice.

She also hosts a show where she spends $40.00 a day for food. Anyone can eat 3 meals for $40.00 a day. I don't know how she gets away with doing that show. I watch it to see the her different destinations.

Her new show where she eats with different celebrities, I've only seen twice, and she is a little over enthusiastic. I think she does her daily "30 minute meals" show from the Adirondaks where she lives, so she is not used to celebrities. You just want to tell her to calm down.

Back to books, just finished Nelson DeMille's "Night Fall" based on the flight 800 that went down in L.I., but he uses some truths and some fiction for the book.

Amazon.com is a great place to find books you want to read. Then you can get them from the library or order them. You can put in an author's name and it will come up with their books, and books by other authors that are similiar. It gives ratings and reviews from readers that are helpful.

It also tells you if a new book is coming out by the author you like, so you can put a hold on it in the library before it hits the shelves, that way you don't end up way at the end of the list.

On hold:

Hour Game by David Baldacci
(it got a decent review)

Life Expectancy by Dean Koontz

NY Dead by Stuart Woods
(this is an older book where he first introduces a reocurring charactor, Barrington, the decective, which becomes a series of books)

Four Crows by Andrea Peters
(not yet in my library, but I'm on a list since it came out in Oct/2004)

i've never heard of Vice Magazine before, but someone got me & Tarpy a book of theirs before...it's called "Dos & Don'ts" (as in fashion). it's hilarious!! they take pictures of people they see on the street, and write captions under them. my favorite one so far is a pic of a baby...in the caption they're calling it a fat@ss and making fun of it for wearing a purple jumpsuit...LOL!! like it even knows what's going on.

I wished I would have read the book first. After seeing the HBO series I though, OK how much of this is true. Usually movies that started off as books are horrible. They held back almost nothing from the book.

I have the series on DVD and have seen it probably 10 times.
