The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism by Naomi Klein. I don't read but a few minutes at night and this book has taken longer than expected because there is a lot to digest. It's mainly about how the free market and multinational corporations are fucking everyone over.

If I remember correctly it had a lot of dirt on Mike Tirico and his sexual harassment escapades. I've always been dumbfounded how he's kept his job there for so long. I read it back in the Winter of '04, but can't remember the author, or the name of it. I'd actually like to go back and read it again.

Re-reading "Watch You Bleed" by Stephen Davis about Guns N' Roses... didn't like it too much the first time, but willing to give it another shot. I did like his Zepplin and Aerosmith books, but I thought he editorialized too much in the GNR one. Trying to read Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane... I have enjoyed all his other books I have read a lot, but 1/3 of the way through this one and I think it really sucks so far. Edit... next on my list is the Duff book due to all the good reviews the posters here have given it, followed by Shaq's book with Jackie MacMullan as co-author.

I am a big Tom Clancy fan and I am trying to read the books in storyline order (according to: http://www.clancyfaq.com/Hold%20Originals/Ryanvers.htm). I have read "Without Remorse" and "Patriot Games" and am currently reading "The Red Rabbit". I enjoy Clancy's books since I live in Maryland and many of his books in the series are based in the Baltimore-Washington area so I am very familiar with the settings. Additionally, I think Clancy is a class act since he has donated millions of dollars to the Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins University's School of Medicine as a gift for the treatment that he received while as a patient at the Wilmer Eye Clinic (Johns Hopkins Hospital).

I have no plans to at the moment as I have a huge list of books I have to read first. I'm the type of person who will buy books and not read them right away. I've got quite a few that I've gotten as long as four years ago that I've haven't gotten around to reading yet. I kinda like it that way as I can go to my bookshelf and always find a good selection of titles I haven't read, but obviously want to because I wouldn't have bought them in the first place. Not all of them, but a fair chunk of them I bought while they were on sale or discount and during the couple times I had one of those 'Chapters' bookstore discount cards that are good for a year and give you a certain % off on any book you buy and they give you tons of coupons for more discounts when you purchase the card. It's like I have my own personal library. I also try to avoid the big/major book retailers now as much as I can and always search any used book stores I come across to see if I can find anything I may be looking for first. I read a lot of classic literature (Homer, Arrian, Ceasar, Dickens, Doyle, Robert E. Howard that type of stuff) and will always buy that used as you can find anything like that in abundance and cheap at any used bookstore. Even with graphic novels now, I'll always see if I can search out a used copy first, before buying brand new.
