Another epic novel by Ann Rynd. There is no one else who can capture the essence of the human spirit like she could.

The Grapes of Wrath (Centennial Edition)

by John Steinbeck

Going to need to put this down for a bit. I think I’ll pick it up some other time. Having just finished East of Eden, I think this may be a bit to heavy for now.

I, Lucifer: Finally, the Other Side of the Story

A lot of digression, but I have to admit, it is quite humorous.

It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life

by Lance Armstrong

Lnace isnt’ the most articulate writer and this book is not for the squemish. His descriptions of his cancer treatments are graphic and scary.

Overall…Inspired!

Book of Ages 30

Ehhhh..Sorry guy. Like the idea…just not quite sure it makes it in a book. But then again, for a coffee table read it is clever.

A story about "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Greg S) — Wed, 25 May 2005 00:13:47 GMT

Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom

by Cory Doctorow

All I could think of while I was reading this book was Douglas Adams. Cory has to be a fan of the Hitchikers Guide.

If I were to write a sci-fi book it would be just like this…except I have no talent for story telling…but I digress.

This book is an eye opener, not to mention particularly funny. It answers many of the questions that you’ve likely had, but been embarrassed to ask.
