What books are you reading?
I just started reading "Who moved My Cheese" by Dr. Spencer Jonhson. I'm not sure what it's about since I literally just started to read it . But, my business management teacher recommended it and said it's got really good life teaching lessons that he has used throughout his life. So, I thought I'd give it a go.

The Killing of Reagan by Bill O'Reilly. This is part of "The Killing of..." series of books.
They are all very well researched and full of insight. |

Essays of Warren Buffett, by Cunningham
It's a good survey of WB's general ideas. Most are useful, some less so. |

I tend to read for escape, my favorite author for the last couple of years has been Jeff Wheeler. I just recently finished up his Grave Kingdom series.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series for anyone interested in history. O'Reilly really does his research for each book. |

After watching the movie "Wonderland" the other day, I just started reading "Surviving Wonderland" after I Googled John Holmes girlfriend age while this all happened and saw she had written a book about it.
Disturbing to say the least.

I only read biographies, the last I read was Deborah Harry’s (Blondie) which is a great read for a fan.

Essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson. It's a battle to get through but I can't imagine being able to write so brilliantly.

You're right. He was a great writer. Fortunately I'm only 5 books into his series so I have a ways to go. I finished Lee Child and Robert Crais (Elvis Cole and Joe Pike. These characters are everything I'm not so I can fantasize.

I thought I read all Lee Childs books but they were all Jack Reacher. Never heard of Robert Crais. Will have to check him out.

I ordered the dead tree edition of a book on Barndominium planning and construction last week. Finished reading it in 4 hours from cover to cover.....

I just finished "Custer and Crazy Horse" by Stephen Ambrose. Kind of the same idea .... I've read about the details of Custer's last stand since I was young, but this book added so much more insight in the lives of each. It was a great book. I've just started "Empire of Shadows - the Epic Story of Yellowstone" by George Black. |

Robert Crais is a good writer. His characters, Joe Pike (x-cop and Elvis Cole x-military) are private investigators in LA. Just like other good characters, they beat on bad guys.
