Six Brave Presidents

This was a book that I picked up at the library sale last summer. I found a bunch of Kennedy books for a quarter and picked them up. I left them in a bag and forgot all about them. I decided to try one after work today, and I am done with it already. The [...]

The Innocent Man

This book is a piece of non fiction written by John Grisham that is probably a better story than he could ever have made up. It is about two men in a small town that are taken down by the justice system in order to mark a case solved. Reading a book like this you [...]

The Audacity of Hope

Yesterday I had lots of downtime when I was at the NCAA Tournament. I took a book to pass the time. What I didn’t expect was what that would do to me today. I had made up my mind yesterday that I would not go to South Bend to see the Clinton’s. I finished this [...]

Quit Digging Your Grave With a Knife and a Fork

No, I am not barking orders at you. This is the book written by Governor Mike Huckabee explaining how he lost his weight. I was a little disappointed in this book. I thought it would follow his story a little more, but instead it is more of a self help book. I should have known [...]

From Hope to Higher Ground

I really enjoyed this book by Mike Huckabee. I decided that it was an election year, and I would try and make an informed choice and read some of the candidates books. I have previously read McCain’s book Faith of My Fathers about his early years. The book really made me appreciate what he went [...]

Metallica: This Monster Lives

The subtitle of this book is ‘The Inside Story of Some Kind of Monster’. In a nutshell that is what this book is about. One of the filmmakers who was with Metallica during the recording of St. Anger from 2001-2003 wrote this book. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge Metallica fan. [...]

Kiss Me Like A Stranger

I have always liked Gene Wilder. Over the last couple of years I have seen some of his older movies that thanks to Netflix were available to me. I heard an interview with Gene about this book on the radio in 2005 when I was traveling to Colorado. From the interview I really never wanted [...]

Fever Pitch

This is one book that I should have read a long time ago. It is the memoirs of Nick Hornby and his addiction to his soccer team. Anyone that knows me knows that I love my sports. I may not be as bad as Nick is though, but in some ways I may even be [...]

Team of Rivals

Finally! I have been reading this book on and off since last April. I really enjoyed the book, but it was just a lot all at once for me. I have been having trouble the last few years keeping my attention span on a book for any length of time. This one was over 750 [...]

Tiller: Not Your Average Joe

Last weekend I knew that something was up with the Purdue Football Coaching situation. I didn’t know the extent of it, but generally that things were going on behind the scenes. I was down on campus to catch a game, and I was buying some shirts that were on sale in the Purdue Pride store [...]
