So I have a few books sitting on the desk now. That always happens after I visit my dad. I grabbed some great ones on this trip. For the hell of it, I compiled a list of everything I’m reading right now. (Click on the ‘more’ link to see!) I’m almost done with Just Six Numbers and A Man in Full. Longtime readers of dg.net will note that I’ve been working on AMIF for almost a year now. For some reason I can’t seem to get through it. I just am not really enjoying it. The New Thinking Man’s Guide to Baseball is excellent reading, by the way. In case you’re wondering, yes, I still devour Sports Illustrated the day it arrives. I’m also getting Boston Magazine, Shift, and Maxim. I’m also slowly slogging my way through Sams Teach Yourself CGI Programming in a Week. And of course I was nice enough to provide the amazon link for all of them. Read away!

How many books DID you lift from my case?
Didn’t I get you a subscription to that liberal rag “Harper’s Magazine” as well? Have you stopped reading it??
Yes, you did. But that was for my birthday last year and the subscription expired. That is a great magazine, though.
I just finished “Bad Blood” and was doing a scan of the net to find more info on this book that is 20 years old. More specifically, did Marlene end up in a dumptser, OD’d and did Chuck ever get out of prison and start his own hardware store? Gosh, I’d like to know….
