thebitterguySo, I finished The Devil in the White City recently. I know, I know, I've spoken of it before, but it's a lovely book. Lovely. Well written. Exquisitely crafted. Reads like a wonderful piece of fiction, but it's all facts, except for the speculation.
Apparently, Tom Cruise will be making a movie of it.
Finished Confessions of a Shopaholic. The first half was as bad as you'd think (girl shops on credit, gets lots of debts, wackiness ensues!), but the last half actually turns into an interesting story.
Quick Note: I did NOT pick it up on my own volition. It was floating around the office, and I read it. As I said, if it hadn't turned into an actual story by the end, I probably wouldn't have finished it.
Also didn't get too far (couple chapters) into On War, but will likely get a copy from Chapters.
Read a few years of Hunter S. Thompson's life in Fear & Loathing in America. Can't wait to read the damn Vegas book, or F&L on the campaign trail.
Currently Reading Lion's BLood by Steven Barnes, which is about what if Africans colonized the new world and took European slaves. I was liking it a lot more until I hit Shaka Zulu. Damn, I hates real folks in the Alternate History books.
