Reading MYSTIC RIVER by Dennis Lehane. Loved the movie, the book is fantastic. As was one of his earlier books DARKNESS TAKE MY HAND. Been reading alot of Michaael Connely, HENRY BOSCHE novels. But no, don't just read the dark detective type things, recently read THE TIPPING POINT - by Malcom Gladwell, muy interesante. BLINK by the same guy, also muy, muy interesante. Read MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA ... ok, yes, I'm sensitive. Holy crap the book was written by a white guy from the south ... it was good. Didn't think it was great, but good. UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN - freaked me out a little bit, ok, a whole lot actually. Makes me wanna rush right out and be a MORMAN ... not so much. Loved A MILLION LITTLE PIECES until I realized he made most of it up, that being said - not a fan, The Dark Tower Series .. trippy stuff, fantastic. Trinity by Leon Uris is one of my favorites of all time, Recently read the first two books in The Hitchhikers Guide series, Empire Falls, Absolute Friends by john leCarre, The Kite Runner, Killer Angels, Devil in the White City, The Life of Pi, Dune, Rebels .... mind going blank right now (no that's not a title, but it could be, maybe a good one ... hey did you read "mind going blank right now" by that guy, you know, whatshisname?) can't recall the books Ive read and liked ... oh, here's an idea - Books I started reading cause I thought I should read but never could get through them: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance; Moby Dick; A Tale of Two Cities, A Brief History of the Universe; Ulysses; Oedipus Rex ... many more which I allegedly read in high school and college but never did ... that's right, faked my way right through it, just like my date on prom night - wait a minute!
