I just started reading Spitballing: The Baseball Days of Long Bob Ewing by Mike Lackey. Would one of the fine gentlemen around here happen to be the author? Very enjoyable writing about a very enjoyable subject.
Enders Game was great. finished it in 2 days. Now on to Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk
Fiction: 20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill
Nonfiction: David/Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell
Audiobook: Currently downloading Gone Girl.

Already finished the Old Red Guard, probably read it again this afternoon though.

yes, this really is how we make our living.
I'm nearly done with The Long Walk by Stephen King. Very good
Just finished "We Need To Talk About Kevin". Very unusual book. Strangely fascinating, even though I really didn't like *any* of the characters. Mom was pretentious, judgmental and condescending, Dad was a head in the sand Ward Cleaver wanna be, Son was, while a genius, also psychotic, and the Daughter was just, well, sad. The story was compelling, and I couldn't stop reading it. It was an interesting look into the possible line of thinking and life of a kid who could and would become a school shooter type.
I doubt I'll read any of the author's, Lionel Shriver, other books though. After reading a few online interviews with her, she comes across as judgmental, condescending and anti-American herself. The Mother in "Kevin" was a self portrait IMO. Just to me she came across as a very unpleasant person.

My wife got me a kindle fire HD for my bday a month or so ago (30th - ouch) and I read the first of 5 parts, which was a free sample, and could not put it down. I picked up the omnibus and it has been an excellent read so far.
Takes place in a futuristic society of people that have lived in a silo for many generations after the Earth was heavily contaminated.
