    I do occasionally. Just finished "Outsourced" by R J Hillhouse. Very good read, and one that I'm sure you would enjoy Mission

    If I get into a book, I will burn it up! When I'm hooked I'm hooked. I don't get into many but I've been thinking lately about looking into some once again like I used to. Tony Dungy's Quiet Strength will be the first! The only book I've read recently was Dave Ramsey's The Total Money Makeover. Other then that, I'll admit I read all the Harry Potter books. Most twice:-X!

    Why do you ask Mission? I assume your into books since you asked, maybe you can suggest a good one for me to start?

    The Host by Stephanie Meyer is a really good science fiction alien type book. She wrote the Twilight series.

    If I were to suggest a book to you it would be "fluke" by Christopher Moore. Or anything from him really. Or, anything from Carl Hiaasen.

    Do you know how many hours of text-book reading a week I have for the 2 master's courses I'm taking? I do the real reading and 977 reads her "Twilight" series books.

    What type of books are they? What type of books do you read mostly? I'm kinda into whatever gets me interested, no particular type. Dave Ramsey is a financial guy but I know I couldn't read 99% of the finance books out there, I just like his philosophy. And the Harry Potter books LOL, a friend's dad got me into them when I was in high school and although I was skeptical I do have to say that they do hook you!!

    These books are more comedy based or fictional comedy.
    The Hiaasen is kinda hard to explain. I don't have a certain genre of books that I read. Authors are a good place to start. The book I'm reading now is The LUST LIZARD FROM MELANCHOLY COVE by Christopher Moore. It's a pretty random book to say the least. Fluke was a hard book to put down.

    Yeah, Mission. I used to read a lot more than I do currently. I'd be lying if I blamed it on work entirely. I like these fine numbers and in the words of Ferris Beuler, "If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up."

    Slaughterhouse Five, Kurt Vonnegut.
    Of Mice And Men, John Steinbeck.
    The Sun Also Rises, Earnest Hemmingway.
    The Silence Of The Lambs, Hannibal, Thomas Harris.
    A Prayer For Owen Meany, Cider House Rules, The World According To Garp, John Irving.
    Alice In Wonderland, Lewis Carroll.
    Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe. It's considered to be the first novel in English.

    What do you like?

    If you have a month or two to kill, read Paradise Lost by John Milton.
