I just finished Blind Side based on recommendations here and I thought it was quite entertaining/interesting.

I'm currently reading Douglas Feith's "War and Decision: Inside the Pentagon at the Dawn of the War on Terrorism". It's a surprisingly well written, very interesting book that explains the Bush administration decision-making process from the point of view of a top official in the Pentagon. Feith explains the administration thinking on the GWoT in a way that the administration's communcations experts seemed incapable of doing for the better part of 8 years. He exposes many of the false allegations made against the Bush administration during that time but doesn't shy away from leveling criticism (including self-criticism) where he believes it's warranted.

The last two things I read were both plays:
The Pillowman, by McDonagh and The Wild Duck, by Ibsen. Both were good for different reasons. I would recommend the Pillowman definitely though. Very imaginative with great dialogue and pretty intense.

Great book. My favorite by Orwell is Animal Farm, but 1984 is a close second.

Latest book I've been reading: Atlas Shrugged

Unfortunately someone else put it on hold at the library, so I cannot renew. Think I'll just buy a copy.

Right now I am on A Canticle For Leibowitz (thanks for the suggestion, Adept Havelock). Unfortunately, the local library did not have this in a paper copy. I am listening to it on tape. That part sucks because the only place I have a consistent ability to listen to a tape is in my truck (yeah, they still built those with cassete players and cd players).

When

Spoiler!


That was, though the reference didn't exist yet, the moment I wanted to put a book in the freezer like Joey did with Misery on Friends.

This conversation has come to a proverbial fork in the road. Instead of choosing which path to take (which both will undoubtedly lead to dark and bad places), I am going to take the Tao/Buddhist-like and Powerman 5000 stance, and pretend that None of it is Real.

You, friend, are such a chicken.

FYI - I currently am reading Same-Sex Marriage Pro and Con: A Reader, by Andrew Sullivan.

Doesn't that sound fun?
