Just finished Original Meanings by Jack Rakove. A very in depth study of the Founding Fathers and the backgrounds of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Just arrived from Amazon

I just recieved "The Ugly American" by William J. Lederer and Eugene Burdick in my most recent order from Amazon. I will probably begin this weekend. It should be a very interesting read.

The Gentle Infantryman, by Bill Boyd. A novel, but written by a WWII combat veteran. For the first time, I have an inkling of what it might have been like on the front lines. An amazing and heartbreaking book.

My mother gave me and my wife a copy each of The Shack. It's on my pile of books to get to.

I just knocked off Newt Gingrich's new alternative-history World War II book Days of Infamy. Decent read for a weekend if you like popular war fiction. I have a few things I pre-ordered from Amazon scheduled to arrive in the next week or so, so I'm hoping to finish Vincent Cronin's Paris: City of Light 1919-1939 before then.

Sort of on-topic for the larger forum, I also read Steinberg's Hatless Jack a week or two ago. Interesting history, though I don't quite buy the idea that increasing informality in dress necessarily equates to greater individuality and "creative expression."

I've been going back to the new Chris Farley bio at my local B&N.
Its an interesting read and can be both funny and tragic considering the subject matter. He was a very insecure fellow with a great comedic talent.
