Does anyone else have three or four books going at once?
Booger, how is the Hiassen book going? I happened upon a book fair the other day and when I was leaving I saw the paperback version of it on sale, too. Almost kicked myself!
Right now, I'm just starting the Daily Show's Jon Stewart's book, Naked Pictures of Famous People , a collection of short pieces of satire. To be honest, I didn't really notice the title until I left it on my desk at work. It received quite the reaction! So many people asked to borrow it . . . until they realized there were no pictures in it.
I'm just finishing (I hate to be without a book Michael Moore (director of "Bowling for Columbine's) book, Stupid White Men . I would recommend it to one and all. THe first chapters deal with the election and neatly relays fact after fact of ways it *appears* President Bush's team rigged the outcome.
I'm also reading a novel, written in 1987, set both in present day and eighteenth-century Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I'm not sure how well-known this novel is but it's called Between Men by Katherine Govier.
