Fortunate Son: George W. Bush and the Making of an American President It has been the most talked-about Bush biography, weathering a fierce storm of controversy and suppression. After original publisher St. Martin?s Press received threats from Bush campaign lawyers, and saw their author destroyed in public, they withdrew their edition of 70,000 from stores with promises to burn them. Soft Skull republished the book, but ran into corporate media (like 60 Minutes, and media "watchdog" Brill?s Content) intent on attacking the author. A Texas lawsuit shut down distribution of this critical, fair, revealing biography. Hatfield?s life became the bigger story, and the message he was trying to send seemed destined to remain unheard. Every American should be so fortunate to read this book. -- Thx Perryman, I will check it out.

The Best of McSweenies Edited by Dave Eggers. It's a mix of non-fiction and short-stories, way off the beaten track, but really high quality. Ideas: A History, by Peter Watson. This book is an utter gem, making sense of things you didn't even know existed. I'm scheduled to finish it in 2010 and you can borrow my copy then. And also "The Jim Corbett Omnibus" by Jim Corbett. Jim was a dyed-in-the-wool English sportsman who wrote about his exploits hunting tigers in the 1930s in India. It harks back to an age when (still relatively recently) natural forces were still highly threatening and dangerous. Also this is the reality of the English hunter that gave rise to the stereotype. If you think you know what to expect, you're almost certainly wrong. Really worth exploring. And also "Three Uses of the Knife" by David Mamet. Jury still out. I just finished "Time Traveller's Wife" by Audrey Niffeneger. Surely the book of the decade.

I'm currently working my way through all of Albert Camus' work and just finished "The Fall" I'm going to the library in a minute to pick up some more (I read about three books a week so I had to give up buying them!).

Oh God, I just got through "The Satanic Verses" by Salman Rushdie.(no k)(Got it form a used book shop for about $ 2.00 hardcover in good state). Although English is not my native language and modesty be damned I think I speak it fluently, it took me a lot of work as it is a very dense, difficult book. I really DID like it though, it's a very engrossing story and makes you think about stuff you're not used to.

the Bible

River of Shadows: Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West. This is a bio of Eadweard Muybridge, the Victorian inventor of high speed photography that revealed the true motion of horses, humans and other animals. His work led to the discovery of motion pictures. It's not the best writing I have encountered (too hyperbole-stuffed) but the man himself is a curiousity.

Sensuous Seas Tales of a Marine Biologist... It's an awesome book if you are interested in the marine life... "Kaplan actually does the things that many others will ultimately have left on their 'to do' lists. He chases octopuses with his students, dives to the edge of the abyss in a research submarine, and eats things most travelers would never consider. He is part Indiana Jones, part Richard Feynman, and part Woody Allen" I'm also reading What's Eating Gilbert Grape?... I have seen the movie a million times plus one and now I am finally reading the book...
