I'm about to start Bringing Down the House (story of the M.I.T. balckjack gang)
Do you read?
I think a lot of people bought "Shake Hands" after Madeleine Albright reviewed it in the Posts book section last weekend. I had to ask Kramers to order it for me.

Laugh out loud at times. Slow at others.

i'm only a couple of chapters in, but this is a fascinating book … any suggestions for similar genre-bending history?

been busy lately so not much time for reading - I've read these three books, all by the same author, this year, the first two are biographical, the third (and weakest) is fictional

The last book I read:

It sucked. Lots of errors and too much bias.
I'm currently reading this:
<img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1588341046.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" alt=" - " />
It's the account of a Spad pilot in Vietnam.. It's rather good as there hadn't yet been any SPAD books tht I was aware of, but I did detect a mistake.

I read Lexicon Devil a while back. A great read, but I've heard mixed things about it's accuracy.
Right now I am reading a book called The Peasant's Revolt of 1381, which is a collection of primary documents about said revolt. It's pretty interesting in some places, incredibly dull in others, but useful research.
Henry Rollins can be very, very funny, but very, very aggravating. I love his diaries but the minute he starts solipsising, I want to strangle him. There's only so many times you can hear the same thing over and over and over and over again … we GET it, Henry, you hate yourself and everyone else – can you at least think of a different way to say it?
I'm also reading this:

I've been on a Bret Easton Ellis binge for a few months now. I'm halfway through Glamorama, and have already finished American Pyscho, Less than Zero, and Rules of Attraction.

I am feeling annoyance and disgust. Alas.

I just bought this:

It looked rather interesting…
"Is it the pristine but harsh frontier where noble scientific missions are accomplished? Or an insane corporate bureaucracy where hundreds of workers are cooped together in hi-tech communes with all the soul of a suburban office park? "
