I gotta admit to failure in pushing on the bounds of illiteracy and ignorance lately.

My nearest success in the last month was when I stopped at yard sale a couple of weeks back and found three books I wanted to read. Was standing in line to pay for them when the woman running the sale was rude to a mexican woman ahead of me in the line. I uttered someting of protest, turned, dropped the books in the box I'd gotten them from, and left.

Got about half way through Freakonomics when I got side-tracked by 8 college textbooks. If my synapses aren't fried by spring break I'll finish it then (may even get around to writing some kind of book report/review on it). As of half way through, good read so far...

nice list...

Hillerman quite enjoyable, have several of his.

The blacksmith journal sounds intriguing...

Dan Brown rings a bell--refresh my memory?

I normaly don't chase the best sellers, but I came across a copy of The Da Vinci Code in a second hand store and picked it up, started reading and couldn't put it down.

I'v also read Angels & Demons, Deception Point, Digital Fortress all by Dan Brown

You might have hard time finding the one by James Houston, I found it at a library book sale, it's worth looking for though.

Oh, yeah, *that* Dan Brown...liked the plot ideas in A & D, racing aound Rome to "connect the dots," but the Hardy Boys' tone was too much to persuade me into the "Code." Prolly make a good movie, though.

Ever try Grisham? His plots hold up pretty well...
