so far so good!
this looks very interesting. i'd appreciate it very much if you wrote a review/commentary on the book after you're done reading (though i might just pick it up before then).
currently reading 'The Green Mile' by stephen king. Very good book so far and I'm enjoying it.
Also finished 'The Blind Side' by Michael Lewis. If you enjoy football in the least, this is a must have. It follows Michael Oher, a prodigy of a football player who is a physical specimen (something like 6'5 350 as a junior in HS). he is adopted by white upper middle class parents and it tells of his struggles through academic and social boundaries.
this book also describes the evolution of the game, with Bill walsh and the 49ers and also lawrence taylor, who revolutionized the way offenses are designed. a very cool book.
