007, Have you read The Help? It's a good read and about to be released as a movie.

Nope. I was serious when I said I haven't been reading like I used to. I bet it's been 3 years since I read a book before I read the one I posted about above. Sad!! Early spring until November is crazy busy at our house but I am going to make it a point to start reading more. It's something I used to enjoy. I'm jotting down notes from this thread for future reference.

Dragon Tattoo series is fantastic. Starts slow but suddenly you just can't put it down.

Its the fact that the writing is very very good.



`
I am in the middle of the book "The Last Hero". It is a biography about Henry "Don't call him Hank" Aaron. I don't know much about the Milwaukee Braves and not only does it give a nice hand job to Aaron, it is a wonderful historical look at baseball during segregation and also Milwaukee in the early 50s and 60s.

Who is the famous baseball player with the pic with the bat resting on his shoulder and other arm extended pointing out? Can't remember who he said it was but my boy had his pic taken the other day for his last year of little league baseball and the coach told him to pose that way. He said he couldn't keep a straight face .....I'm like, oh great, it's gonna look like u are pointing at someone laughing. Oh well, last year....it's been the "fun" baseball this season a break from the all-serious HS baseball. Can't wait to see the pic.

I don't know of such a famous picture, but it's probably a reference to Babe Ruth's called shot.

It was Babe. And the pic turned out great!!! Pretty funny.

I went to a movie last weekend and saw previews for The Help. It looks good. I had my daughter get it on her kindle and I'm going to try to read it this weekend.

I am into the Lee Child series based on the fictional character of Jack Reacher, pretty good.

I've read them all, they are excellent.

PM me if you're missing some and want them for your ereader.

That brings about a question. Anyone want to brag on their ereaders? I still like the feel of a book in my hand, but it would likely be nice for travel. My phone would suck for reading on the beach.

[Freak Out]

I've just read - Cleopatra: a life, Empire of the Summer Moon, The Company we Keep, Wild Bill Donovan, A bunch of Ian Fleming Bond books....

You know what is a complete kick in the balls? They are making ONE SHOT into a movie and guess who is going to play Jack Reacher? Reacher is supposed to be 6'5" 250 pounds so think someone half that size and you will come across the one and only Tom Cruise. Fuck Hollywood.

No shit? That's the dumbest idea I ever heard. What a waste of a great story.
