Books and Booze...r.

Yet another book update: Just finished Bleachers by John Grisham. This one took less than a full day. For a Wikipedia book review, [click here].

Good [albeit quick] story about a former High School football player who reluctantly returns home to attend a memorial of sorts for his former coach. The player has to fight off the bad memories and remind himself of the good ones, while attempting to finally move on.

That now makes 5 books in 19 days. 1,483 total pages.

Next selection: Hothouse Orchid - Stuart Woods






My favorite author. Haven't read any of his stuff in quite awhile. I'll have to make a list of the books of his I've read, but I imagine the count would be somewhere near 40. He's good. This one, 294 pages.



Other notes:
- Bulls agree to deal with Utah Jazz power forward Carlos Boozer.



-
Word on LeBron James' decision to come tomorrow night at 8 PM on ESPN. It's a big deal.



- Happy Birthday to my gramps.


That was quick,
Derrick

  1. Hey Derrick,

    You should check out www.goodreads.com. This site will keep track of every book that you've read. You could even join different book clubs. John Grisham has one and I'm sure that there's one for Stuart Woods too.

  2. Katie: I...love...you! Been messing on this website all night (which ironically has stalled my reading). This is awesome! :)
