"Fear" by Bob Woodward, but took a break from it as there's only so much horrifying incompetence one can read about our president before getting nauseous; and,
"Football for a Buck: The Crazy Rise & Crazier Demise of the USFL" by Jeff Pearlman. Yes, another book about that destructive, incompetent moron, but at least it involves one of my favorite things as a kid, the USFL.
I think I will go to the dentist and ask him to drill a healthy tooth without Novocaine.
Still I am glad you are enjoying them even if I do not understand.

Go Stars!

I tried to pick this up before last year's sales meeting, but I waited too long to get it.
My daughters got it for me as part of my Christmas present this year! I am excited to read it. Although I probably will not get to start it until February.
I finally got around to reading this. I am about 2/3 of the way through it. It is most excellent.
Thank you for recommending it to me.
I have read several biographies about gangsters. I never put the timeline together as this book does. I also thought Bonnie and Clyde were bigger news on the National scale than they were at the time of their spree.

It's amazing, one of those books that you feel regret when you're done with it. One of my favorite books ever. Bryan Burrough is a great author.
I'm reading right now "The British are Coming: The War for America, Lexington to Princeton, 1775:1777" by Rick Atkinson. Not as great as his Liberation Trilogy series, but still a very worthy read.
Just finished Victor Davis Hanson's "The Soul of Battle". The work on Epaminondas was very interesting. Now doing a re-read of Michael Oren's "Six Days of War" and more research into Mrs Chancellor's grandfather, who was a very early Green Bay Packer player.

Mmmmm… empanadas.

I delved into some of my old mystery novels during the last couple of months. The best ones I finished were "The Novels of Dashiell Hammett" and Raymond Chandler's "The Big Sleep." Incredible stuff.

A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.
