Cool, I'm having to borrow it from my gf when she's not reading it - we're in a book club (The Dirty Book Club), and rather than buy two copies . . . she should be done with it this w/e, then I can finish it. I'll post up when I finish it next week.

I forgot to post one I read a couple of weeks ago from one of my favorite authors - John Irving's Widow For One Year. I've read about half of his books and this is my 2nd fav behind Cider House Rules. Damn now this guy can write.

Next up: The Electric Koolaid Acid Test, by Tom Wolfe. It's my turn to pick for the club and I've never read this guy.

My sister sent me Joker One for my birthday. ITs about one platoon leaders experience while leading marines in Ramadhi.

I remember reading The Things They Carried in HS. I wasn't really thrilled by it then, but then again, nothing in HS really thriled me. I think it was the whole "You must read this book" attitude of the teachers.
