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.

Re-reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. And the manuals to our new dishwasher and refrigerator.

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...

Underboss, about Sammy the Bull, Gotti's right hand man. Highly recommended. After reading this I'm thinking of turning to loan sharking, anyone need a float??

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...
