Ram said I should ask you first.

I read just about anything.

Decent read for understanding how we can make intelligent snap decisions... in fact The Tipping Point was also really good, as was Outliers...

MOON MEDICINE by Michael Blakely, a western full of Texas blarney, just as you'd expect. Terrific.

My top two reads in December!

JonR sends his regards as well. ( ;

Uhm, I don't have anything more to offer. Sorry, Chief.

I don't read anymore. I just do cable and eat.

Even the newer ones like "Space", "Recessional", and "Mexico" are cool.

I am currently reading a collection of Zora Neale Hurston books.........which are excellent DEEP south portrayals from the perspective of black people.

For a lighthearted lark, check out the "Golden Compass" series from Pullman.

Bukowski always makes me laugh and when all else fails, I read Mark Twain and Hemingway.

I’ve always wanted to read David Copperfield but never got around to it. Why not give that a try.

============================

it took me about 6 tries to read Copperfield. I just couldn't seem to get past the first couple chapters. I did finish it, but it is not what I would consider an easy read or even a relaxing read.
