If you know anything about me, you know I enjoy reading. I am happiest when I am on the couch or in the bed with a good book, reading a book with a friend and chatting about it, or being able to recommend a book to someone that they end up enjoying.
I was talking with someone at work a couple of weeks ago about some of the books I've read lately and he laughed at how odd my tastes were; they're like me, unique!
I always have a list of books ready and waiting on me. They are from different genres and cover different subjects. It's an ever growing list and I'm always open to recommendations.
So here it is. Let me know if you have an recommendations of your own.

I have read the Hawking book and it was wonderfully over my head. I still plan to read Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential and Hitchen's Arguably. I hope to read most everything written by Pat Conroy before I am done. To Kill a Mockingbird is even better than the perfect movie. I also want to write a novel before I am done.
Get to writing Mr. Mancil. Get to writing..
