I've seen some of those books, there seems to be 20 or so with the same plot after reading the backs of them.

Well, any series is going to be repetetive. Check out the first one, BURGLARS CAN'T BE CHOOSERS, and take it from there.

I just picked up Jonathan Lethem's FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE. I loved MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN, so I'm hoping this one is up to par.

I just read Carl Hiaasen's Nature Girl, new in paperback. He didn't go overboard this time with his usual ecological and environmental rants, but his razor sharp wit is as good as it's ever been.

Recommend.

Fyodor Dostoevsky - The Brothers Karamazov

This was the book that inspired Puzo to become a writer.

"Running the Table: The Legend of Kid Delicious, the Last Great American Pool Hustler " by Jon Wertheim of Sprts Illustrated.

A great bio of Danny Basavich. Extremly overweight, suicidal, bi-polar and an outcast goes on to be great poo hustler and pool professional. Pool literally saved this guys life.

Good read. Not just a pool book but a book on life.

I'm not even gonna ask what a poo hustler is...

I read Hustler Days, it was a good book. Talked about Jersey Red, Minnesota Fats, Mosconi, and others.

I have just started reading Lance Armstrongs Biography so far its pretty slow but i think it will get more interesting as times goes on

Maximum security inside stories from the worlds toughest prisons by Karen Farrington

Great book for anyone interested in the prison system and what goes on inside,after reading this the US by far has the strictest and most violent prisons in the world

One of the most offensive, yet hysterical, books I've ever read.

I picked up two new novels at Borders this weekend, both just published. DUMA KEY, by Stephen King and THE APPEAL, by John Grisham. I'll let you know...

I saw that there's now a sequel to Follett's Pillars of the Earth. I read it many years ago when it first came out and really liked it. I've been meaning to pick up the sequel. Has anyone read it??

It's called WORLD WITHOUT END. I haven't read it yet, but it received generally strong reviews.

I was wondering why Pillars of the Earth was on all the best-seller lists again, and then I found out about the sequel. I got a B&N gift card for Christmas, so I just may pick it up.

The author, a professor of public policy at Harvard, gathers together dozens of studies that measure social engagement and involvement in various ways -- from voting and running for office to giving blood, having friends over for dinner, and doing volunteer work -- in order to chart the steady decline of what he calls "social capital" in the U.S. since it peaked in the early 1960s. Why do Americans give less to charity, play cards less often, fail to exercise their right to vote, and in so many ways fail to engage with the community and nation around them as much as they used to? Putnam charts the problem that so many of us have sensed vaguely but could not clearly identify, but has less to say about why it happened and what's to be done about it.

That looks like an absolutely fascinating sociological study. I'm going to order it from my library right now.
