"The Godfather" by Mario Puzo. Had never read the book (it's great--better than the movie, which is so often the case).
Up next: "Rat Pack Confidential" about Frank, Dean, Sammy, et al. Vegas like it used to be.

Just finished "A Million Little Pieces", by James Frey. Sensationalistic, contrived, stylistic to the point of gimmicky. Typical Oprah endorsement. Don't waste your money.

This figures. Also in the book he describes a character addicted to Quaaludes. My math puts the story at around 1992. 'ludes were taken off the market in the US in 1982.

Clapton's Guitar by Allen St.John.
It's about Wayne Henderson (musician/guitar maker) making a guitar for Clapton. Interesting read for any guitar players.

Great book.Originally Posted by cigar no baka
I'm reading " 'tis " by Frank McCourt, great book...not quite as depressing as "Angela's Ashes."
Also reading "The Friends of Pancho Villa" by James Carlos Blake, a fun historical fiction.

Jarhead by Anthony Swofford. Was an impulse buy while I was at WalMart, had seen the movie so I figured I would read it. Much better than the film. Was a good movie though.
Bumpin' this one more time.
