I've been on a roll the past few months ... lots of good ones, including several about the Pacific Theater in WWII.

A good football book I read recently is called "The Real All-Americans," about the American Indians who played football around the turn of the century (Jim Thorpe, etc).

Right now, I'm reading a biography -- "Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich." Very, very good.

I prefer non-fiction, but I bought Charles Portis' "True Grit" and will read it next.

Last book I read was "The Road" by McCarthy. Awesome book.

I mainly read memoirs. Some good ones are:

The Glass Castle by jeannette walls
Angela's Ashes by frank mccourt

I just started "playing to win, jerry jones and the dallas cowboys" by david magee. It's pretty good so far

shutter island is a good fiction book.

in the middle of "in cold blood" by truman capote. It's about the real life murder of a family in rural kansas in the early 60's. Good read. I like the way Capote writes.

and my favorite fiction books are the Flowers in the Attic series by v.c. Andrews. It's a messed up tale of a woman that locks her kids in the attic.

those are my suggestions.

No Country For Old Men by Cormac McCarthy

I just finished "Lunar Park" by one of the most favorite authors, Bret Easton Ellis. His stuff is usually pretty dark. This one is by far the novel that is the most unlike his usual style, but it was a pretty neat story. Very Stephen King-like. I dug it.

I haven't read this book, but I bet its really good. I've seen the documentary about it and it's really good.

I enjoyed the heck out of it. It was my 2nd time reading it. He is such a fantastic writer. I highly recommend Blood Meridian by him.
