Anybody read any good books lately? After Saturday Bama wont be on TV for a few weeks so i gotta find something to pass the time and I love reading. Theres not a lot of fishing to do here in Tuscaloosa, I think the red snapper and grouper have gone extinct up here or something...

I am currently reading "A Conspiracy of Paper" by David Liss.

Historical Fiction. It takes place in Londonand its about theorigin of banknotes and the stock market. It's a mystery thriller believe it or not. I'm 3/4 of the way through it and would recommend it.



Go Gators!!

For good escape lit, pick up anything by Carl Hiaasen. Very entertaining. Start off with Skin Deep.

I just read Defiance. It wasa pretty good book. It was about the Bielski Otriad who saved 1200 Jews during WW2 by making camps in the forrest. Pretty cool how they managed to survive and the things they were doing in the forrest to stay alive. Its amazing what you can come up with when you have no other option

Or start withDouble Whammy... that one's about murder and corruption around the pro bass fishing circuit. Hiaasen has a really twisted sense of humor, and I love it.

Skinny Dip was good too, Basket Case was ok.The guy is not the best writer, but his stories are Wildly entertaining.
