Just finished 3 Nights in August.
Just started Boss of Bosses The Fall of the Godfather: The FBI and Paul Castellano
The Timeline History of Islam.
Will trade this space for a #1 starter.
The Blind Side is great, but I'm a big Michael Lewis fan. I'm really interested now to see how Michael Oher's career progresses.
