    Tempting Faith by David Kuo.

    A book about religion and politics! I can't say another word about it on this board.

    I was suppose to be reading Fahrenheit 451 for Honors English 11 but I haven't started it yet.

    I was a big fan of Fahrenheit 451 as I remember.

    I'm currently reading "The gift of the Jews" It the second in a series called "The Hinges of History" by Thomas Cahill.

    Aside from the author sounding full of himself with the series title, I do like the book.

    I've read a little bit of it, I have a test Monday when we return to school, and it's not that bad.

    I tend not to like autobiographies, but it's pretty irresistibly hilarious.

    A small classic, that one. Had me in stitches.

    It's great! You get some really great stories about what he was like growing up, stories from the road, and tons of insight into his weird head. I'm not really into his music that much, although what I've heard, I've liked a lot. Anyway, it's a fast read and very entertaining.

    I'm enjoying a nice light book called "Amazing Grace: The Lives of Children and the Conscience of a Nation", about underprivileged kids in the Bronx. It's terrifyingly sad. And I've only just started it.

    Salt: A World History. Just starting it really, but it has been pretty interesting so far.
