I just finished Where Men Win Glory by Jon Krakauer which is the true story of one of our NFL football stars who walked away from a $3 million plus contract to go serve in the army following the 9/11 attacks. His name was Pat Tillman and he played for the Arizona Cardinals. Six months before his time was up and he was to be honorably discharged, he was killed by friendly fire on a hill in Afghanistan. The authors political predilections pepper the book a little bit as does I imagine his anger over the reaction of the army and US government following the fratricide of Pat, but that is about the only fault I can find with an otherwise, moving, emotional and deeply affecting read.
Finished that and promptly picked up Moby **** by Melville which I haven't read since I was 13 (and had a much different perspective on than what I am getting right now. Just loving it!).

My daughter begged me to read TWILIGHT, even offering to read any book I pick for her if I do (Im thinkin' CARRIE). Im about two hundred pages in and all I keep thinking is "What a stupid ******* book!" I cant believe this inspired a nation wide phenomenon.

Mammamia, I'm reading the Twilight series too...I like the stories but the author is a crappy writer, in my opinion.
