so i guess it was about time that i started reading books that you all might actually find in your own local library – can’t promise i’ll do it for too long though… 🙂

“the pigman” – i forgot this one last week – garrison reminded me about it – so anyway, i read “the pigman” – and promptly threw the book in the trash at vestavia hills high school when i finished – and then returned to school and trashed the rest of the books i had – for those of you that read it in a book group, my apologies – definitely a better read in 1968 than today – lots that doesn’t translate to a current generation (some of the more troubling things: alcohol seems okay and people are constantly called “retarded”)

“chickamauga” – battlefield in northern georgia – the current plan is to go run a marathon up there this november (when alabama is undefeated:) anyway, i found the book in the county library and read through it – lots of pictures to help me maybe appreciate the course that i’ll be running through in the fall

“mount pleasant” – story about a california businessman who jumped into education after becoming a billionaire – i could relate:) anyway, the book was interesting just for the novel ideas the guy had – too bad he lost in a primary for governor last year in california

“inkheart” – i’m not a fan of 1,500 page series books, but book no. 1 was good – i’ll admit that – looking forward to now seeing the movie – i guess what i liked about inkheart was that it seemed to be an author who loves books writing about loving books – and that’s something i can relate to

“usain bolt” – bolt released this book back in the fall – or rather his press group did – great photos – decent story line – you can’t expect great literature from current superstars so i was hoping for much – and i wasn’t disappointed

finished the new testament this week while on the treadmill – took about a month – the old testament is just too long so i have no real interest in going there…

happy reading!
