[IMG] I know, I know, what are the odds of me reading a racetrack book? Actually, this one was the recent surprise winner of the National...
I'm sure RP7 could show them a thing or two about making a penalty out of nothing... :D
Ours are 5, 2.5 & 2.5 these days... YouTube - Family portraits, October 2010
Just finished Flags of our Fathers (audio). Downloaded Dune Messiah from Audible, received Robert Leckie's Helmet For My Pillow (paperback) for...
You've gotta admit, this looks like the cover of a gay Harlequin paperback.
Finished Dune, forgot to bring the next book I had intended (John Jakes' North and South), so balancing two on the iPad, the Memoirs of Ulysses...
Found something for free on Kindle (Ulysses Grant's autobiography, co-authored by Mark Twain) a couple of days ago that I hadn't been able to find...
I will admit that at first, I had some trouble picturing some of it all and made the mistake of watching the 1984 movie through Netflix Instant...

Also, if you've ever tried to view images on a laptop from an angle, you know how badly they distort them. This can be viewed easily by a group...
The biggest thing it's done is that it's the centerpiece of my presentations. I show all my photography on it, and I used to spend $300/yr on...
I don't hate many books I read, but when I do, I hate them with a fury. :p
Bah. American Tabloid or LA Confidential are books about the dark underbelly of the 20th century. Underworld's a bunch of little glimpses into...
Was surprised how touching the book was in places, obviously riotously funny, too. Here's the missing chapter. *** Not sure I'm going to...
