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

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.
The History of Military Medicine by Dr. Richard Gabriel, it helps me go to sleep at night.

I was a charter subscriber to "Pipes & Tobacco Magazine," back in the day, but I don't know that I've ever even opened a cigar magazine. I'm not an Andy Garcia fan.
Hey Urbs. I finally picked up Blood Meridian. I got the new millenium edition and started reading throught the prelude of book written by some professor of something or another and right there on the first freaking page he tells you how the book ends. Pissed me off so much I haven't picked the book back up yet. I will read it very soon I'm sure but just not until my anger subsides.
I really enjoyed Angels & Demons, nothing deep about it at all but none the less a very good and fast paced book. IMO its better than The Da Vinci Code, by far.
I just read a pretty good but VERY twisted book. It was called "1,000,001 Ways to Seduce Your Burro" by Dutyje. A lot of good tips in there, but took some turns I really wasn't ready for! It's a really short read though...
