This week...
I always have 3 books going... I don't know why I do that.
Anyway... 1) Please Don't Just Do What I Tell You (Do What Needs to be Done!) - Bob Nelson (Union folks drive me crazy) 2) Husbandry - Stephen Fried (so funny!) 3) My Bible (of course!)

I work in a bookstore, so whenever I actually have the time to read (rarely, nowadays), I really read. :P Now is, fortunately, one of those periods of times when I consume a book every couple of days.
 I finished 'True Evil' by Greg Iles a few days ago, then finished 'Rigged' by Ben Mezrich last night. I plan to get started on 'Mao's Last Dancer' by Li Cunxin tonight. I've been wanting to read that one for quite a while.
