What are you guys (and gal) reading these days? I am reading THE DREAM OF SCIPIO by Iain Pears and recently finished a book on spy/turncoat Robert Hanssen called INTO THE MIRROR.

I just finished a second read-thru of "The Bureau and the Mole", also about Robert Phillip Hansen (very well written, by David A. Vise of the Washington Post).

After that I oogled the amazing pictures of Izabella Scorupco in the latest issue of "Stuff" (I may have also read some of the words, but I really can't be sure) ;-)

I can see I shouldn't have asked. Okay, how about this, have you heard any dirty jokes lately?

I'm reading a stack of books with fun titles like: Managing Violence in the Workplace, Workplace Violence, and OSHA Guidelines for Preventing Workplace Violence. It's my last semester of school and this "light" reading has given me plenty of opportunity to sit in the back yard with a cigar in one hand and a book in the other. I'm taking a break now from my research just to let some of it bounce around in my cranium for awhile so I can condense it all into a term paper. Smoked a really good Sosa tonight while avoiding my reading.

If you want to read an entertaining and informative book about cigars, read HOLY SMOKE by Guillermo Cabrera Infante. It's hilarious, but if you don't like puns this book should be avoided.

I'll step up here. Just last week I started "The Bourne Identity". I've been hitting the patio at daybreak with a cup of coffee and a good robusto for about an hour of enjoyment before the family wakes up. I've had the book on the shelf for years but decided I'd now read it then go watch the movie. Hard to put it down and start the day!

Tom Clancy's "The Bear and The Dragon" ... and if you've read his "Debt of Honor" and "Executive Orders", doesn't the news of the last year make you think that life DOES sometimes seem to imitate art?

If you want to read a true "oldie but goodie" find an unabridged copy of THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO by Alexandre Dumas. The movie made me want to read it and what a novel! Latent Lesbians! Vampires! Revenge! Double-Crosses! Triple-Crosses! Couldn't put it down.

This may be my favorite reading experience of all time ... not a short or easy read, but an absolutely outstanding one ... I couldn't agree more

I'm reading the CB boards! Seriously, I can't get into books easily unless EVERY word of it is true...leaving only The Holy Bible IMO to fit the category. Sorry to say, I haven't picked that one up in ages! Some in my collection from the past few years are: LIVING A LIFE THAT MATTERS, 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE FAMILIES, DON'T GO TO THE COSMETIC COUNTER WITHOUT ME, about a dozen HOME REMODELING/REDECORATING books, THE 9 STEPS TO FINANCIAL FREEDOM, THE EDUCATED CHILD, IN HONORED GLORY (Arlington National Cemetary - The Final Post), EAT RIGHT FOR YOUR TYPE, CHANGE YOUR BRAIN/CHANGE YOUR LIFE, STRONG WOMEN STAY YOUNG, 101 NIGHTS OF GRRREAT SEX & THE LAST OF THE BLUE WATER HUNTERS. I think this pretty much covers my life! Let's see, there's something for the house, the kids, the sex-life, the health, the beauty, the hunter in me, and my patriotism...and of course I love my magazines: Maxim, InStyle, Shape, Stuff, Scuba Diving...

Well, I had a different question about another title in that series, but I will resist asking ... not without considerable effort, but I WILL resist

I eat whatever the heck I want...thatt book is whacky. You eat certain food groups according to your own blood type...You guys know that 101 book??? It's REAL fun! Only it's been ongoing for about 3 years now...can't quite put it down! LOL! If you don't know it: it's by Laura Corn. She has several versions. The pages are sealed shut and some say "for his eyes only" and some are "for her eyes only"...the guy tears HIS page out and secretly gathers any necessary 'props' and sets the 'stage' for a grrreat night! Woo-hoo! And vice-versa. You all should order a copy!
I highly recommend it. Gosh, all I can say is thank goodness for mail order! I'll leave it at that...
