I do want to talk about the fact that I've been reading quite a bit recently. Well.. more than usual. Because I have the time.
And I have the Kindle app on my phone, so I download a lot of the "free" books... which is interesting because they aren't always "top of the line" books. The other day I downloaded "Pride & Prejudice - the Wanton & Wild Edition"
... basically P&P with sex. Which... is... weird. I got half way through it and haven't kept going. I just can't see that the "co-author" has really added anything of value.More interestingly, I've been reading Decision Points,
by President George W. Bush. Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I voted for Bush. I took the ladies to see him when he was running the 2nd time, and it was quite an experience. But by the end of the 8 years, I'd kind of had enough of him, and was ready for the new blood. I had heard some good things about the book, so I decided to check it out. It's a really good book. Each chapter revolves around a different decision he had to make, and how he went about making the decision. It's a GREAT way to see "behind" the presidency. It reminds me of why I loved The West Wing so much - I think we so often don't realize how much debate and thought goes into a presidential decision. We just see the end result. Reading this book has inspired me to want to read other books (autobiographies and others) written by other presidents. But I gotta finish this one first.Waiting for me on my Kindle are:
Fat, Forty and Fired - for some reason I can relate.
Admit One: My Life in Film - it was free... we'll see
And that's all at the moment.....
What do you suggest?
