lol, I've made LOTS of use of Amazon.com, it's just there are way too many choices for me, and I wind up in a daze 
In fact, Amazon is where I got copies of novels in the Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Warhammer series earlier this year.

Schulz and Peanuts: A Biography. Charlie Brown was my main role model growing up (whether I liked it or not), astounding how much of Schulz' personal issues he was working out in each daily panel. Good Grief!

That's where most all my books come from, including the previously mentioned;
My biggest problem with Amazon is I want them all, left to my own devices I'd order 2 dozen books & CDs every month...I don't have time enough to read everything I want to, & my credit card bill would drive me over the line into bankruptcy...

An interesting short book. "Zen and the Art of Knitting". Also, Ben Franklin's biography and "Creating Bird Baths from Clay Pots". Eclectic mix.

Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman, by Richard Feynman, the physicist. It's anecdotes from his life; I'm working up to his QED.

the unknown knowns by jeffrey rotter. first novel. pokes fun at the paranoid post 9/11 world americans live in. i'm on page 10ish. so far, it's a keeper. just finished the first person by ali smith. short stories (i love short stories). despite reading a bit pretentious (pot/black  ), and a common theme (i'd rather be getting a small taste of many themes) it was very good in a sort of existential crisis kind of way. |

Just finished Assegai by Wilbur Smith. A little too slow for my tastes.
But just started the Tony Dungy book Quiet Strength. I think I'm going to like it.
