Just finished reading in the last week The Appeal and The Broker by John Grisham

I love Grisham. The Broker was good but The Appeal was easily the most profund book Grisham has written. It left me sitting there at the end questioning my political stances. Great book.

Have you had the displeasure of trying to suffer through the Innocent Man though? I haven't been able to finish it, I pick it read a few pages and damn near fall asleep.

only grisham book i am yet to be able to finish

Sad because it has everything that it needed to have been a great book.

yeah I am a huge fan of baseball and of grisham books but sadly The innocent Man was one of the 10 most boring books I have ever tried to read.

I'm about half way through The House of Mondavi. Good Call, Luko, thanks for turning me on to it.

Glad you like it...as a post script...Robert Mondavi died last year, which I didn't remember hearing until read one of those year-end lists of the notable folks who had died.

Okay have to admit I don't read as much as I should anymore, kids and family. But I did pick up a book at an extra job the other day the Tunnelers forget the author but got to the 4th chapter before some jackass made me work, two of you will know what I mean. But it was pretty good will pick it up at the local book store to finish. By the way anyone watching 24.

Finished Augustus ( obviously about the roman emperor). And also " The Year of Living Biblically" -one of the most insightful but also hilarious reads lately. Author A J Jacobs trys to as literally as possible follow the bible for a full year-unbelievably funny but you will proably learn some things as well. Great book.

Yea I saw that. I'm trying to refrain from googling anything about the Mondavi's until after I finish the book but its difficult.

Tonight I read one of my all-time favorite stories. Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. I read the novel and watched the (1968) movie in 7th grade, and the story stuck with me as a classic. This time, I read the short story (which was subsequently expanded into the novel). I need to get that novel and read it again. Classic.

Excellent choice.. " How strange it is that people of honest feeling and sensibility, who would not take advantage of a man without arms or legs or eyes,... how such people think nothing of abusing a man born with low intelligence. " Daniel Keyes.

You quote that right off the top of your head? I think everybody here should read that... at least the first couple pages. It reads like something Big Dan would have written :)

Who's Big Dan? Wasn't he the goofball agent/club owner/student who got lambasted on here for lack of respect for the English language?

Ah, I remember reading Flowers for Algernon in the 7th grade too. Maybe I should pick it back up. I've lost a little empathy for my fellow man since those days.

That's harsh Duty... the man obviously has little to no knowledge of the english language and probably little more than a middle school ejookayshun...I commend him for doing so much with so little. :)
