I liked Beyer's book because I enjoyed reading about his entire life. The Gary Hart book kicks all sorts of ass and I wasn't even a huge fan of Gary Hart.

Started reading "Sworn on the Altar of God: A Religious Biography of Thomas Jefferson". Decent but I've read so many of his personal letters that I know it all already and would rather read his own writings rather than someone paraphrasing him. Still, a good introduction for those interested who don't already know a lot about the subject matter.

Just picked up " Flyer'd Up" Trivia, Facts, and Anecdotes For Fans Of The Orange And Black. I might try to pick up a Book or 2 by Bill James.

I generally read the mystery/thriller genre with an occasional wrestling book or bio/autobio tossed in for flavor. I stay way from the True Crime genre. The only book I ever read that might be considered True Crime by some is the Chris Benoit book Ring of Hell. However I picked up a True Crime book last week called In The Still Of The Night by Ann Rule. Excellent book about the death of Ronda Reynolds which was first ruled a suicide then changed to a murder several years after the fact. Ronda's killer still remains at large. If you want to learn more about her story, google Ronda Reynolds Washington.

Some pieces were good, some were almost unreadable, but it's a good cross-section of murder writing. And I found out that an axe to the head was the preferred murder method until about the 20th century.

Bump. Someone sticky this fucker, it's a good reference tool when I'm looking for something to read (on those rare occasions when I think I have time).
