Anybody read a good book lately?

Wow...that sounds very much like something I wouldn't want to read.

So I finished "If Football's A Religion, Why Don't We Have A Prayer?" last night and I enjoyed reading it. Like I said ... it had a little too much of Shoulder Pad Shaun in it for my liking but the stories of the other families, fans and people affected by their love of the Eagles made it a good read. I would recommend it to y'all.

Two things about Shoulder Pad Shaun in there that I found disturbing/funny:

1. He claims that he farged a girl while she was wearing his shoulderpads. Supposedly she saw them sitting in his closet and asked to wear them while getting plugged.

2. He was picked to be on Survivor but couldn't do it because his foot got run over by his trash truck.

That "girl" he farged was just a transvestite hooker. Thats all he gets.

I didn't know they allowed dirty talk in those books.

Just finished "The Cove" by Catherine Coulter.

Creepy but really good FBI thriller book. Made me think of the movie "The Village" because of the way the townspeople were all in on some big plan.

Almost done with Somerset Maugham's The Razor's Edge.  Good book.  Great character study.

Just got done with the Sports Guy's book. Not bad. Hopefully the next one is all original stuff (this was compilations of past columns, most of which i never read or dont remember reading). But just reading through, this dude is so freakin lucky.

I bought the Colorado Kid last week. I have no time to read these days though.

A little too "Scary Movie" for me to believe it.

Faithless - Karin Slaughter

Slaughter writes a series (Grant County Series) about a small town in Georgia. She resembles Patricia Cornwell's "Scarpetta Series" in the sense that they both are medical examiner/police type series'. Faithless is her latest novel in the series and possibly the best one yet. She is a new author and I enjoy reading her.

Predator - Patricia Cornwell

This is her latest Scarpetta book. I'm still in the process of reading it but I like it so far.

Cabinet of Curiosities - Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child

First book of theirs that I have read. Kinda weird but in a good way. Still in the process of reading ths one too.

Appoloosa, by Robert B. Parker.  Pretty standard fare, really.  Entertaining, but not especially "good".  It's his usual stuff, but set in the old west.

Have you read any other stuff by her, PG?

I've heard she was good but never read anything yet. Are they a series or just single novels?

[rjs246]

I don't enjoy most female novelists. They can't write male characters and since I'm a misogynistic pig, I don't want to read about whiny women. Having said that, one of my favorite books is 'Momma Day' by Gloria Naylor. I would recommend it to all of you jerks.

With Slaughter and Cornwell I haven't noticed a problem with them portraying the dudes in their books.

But I have read books where I know what you're talkin about...
