I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution

I am loving this book so far. One of the real benefits that would not have existed even ten years ago is the ability to have Youtube next to you while reading it. Look up the videos. Look up Martha Quinn or Nina Blackwood or whatever.

It gives the book a whole 'nother level of reality -- fitting for the subject matter.

The Faith Instinct - Nicholas Wade

A book about religion from on an evolutionary perspective. Wade is much more accessible (and agreeable) than Hitchens, it's a great read if any of you are as interested in religious studies as I am.

Just a heads up, they won't sell this at Ford's Theater do to factual inaccuracies.

I'm reading Prep at the moment, it's an interesting look into the eyes of a teenager. I bought it for $2!

My old lady liked it. I never read it myself. I joined a book club to read more fiction and this is what they picked.

Not a very strong endorsement my friend. I will shelve it and see how much dust i can procure with it.

Gonna get back to read The Mist of Avalon after stopping for a few weeks. Waiting for A Song of Ice and Fire to come in the mail.

Re-read Stephen King's Low Men In Yellow Coats. One of his best stories IMO, the perfect mixture of creepy and heartbreaking.
