What are you looking forward to reading next? Me "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns |
|
Goodwin (The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln). Please tell me it is one of her better ones.

1. After I'm done with Ice & Fire (two-and-a-half books to go)... |
|
...I'm gonna take another stab at The God Delusion, then I'm diving into The Black Company.

3. I'm going to attempt to tackle "That Used To Be Us" by Thomas Friedman |
|
I'm also getting the audiobook version of "Hot, Flat, & Crowded" by the same author.
I got about 1/3 through the audiobook version of Team of Rivals (read by John-Boy Walton, no less). I just don't think I was in the right frame of mind at the time. I have vowed to give it another shot.

6. Just started reading Jimmy Carter's "White House Diary" |
|
It's his diary entries from his four years in the White House with some commentary or explanation from him. It's pretty fascinating.

7. Picked up "Why I became an Atheist" at the bookstore yesterday |
|
by John W. Loftus. Loftus was a christian apologist who finally could no longer believe what he was defending. I read some at the store and it really breaks down the bible and the real problems with believing any of it.
