I'm reading Red Dragon by Thomas Harris. I'm actually kinda bored with it so it's taking me a long time to get through it.

"A Storm of Swords" by George R.R. Martin...the third book in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series that the Game of Thrones television series is based on. I've watched Game of Thrones from the beginning, but only started reading the books over the last several weeks. It's great writing, and the end of this book is pretty much where the TV series is at right now. But I'm looking forward to reading the next two books after this. Then I'll join all the other book fans eagerly awaiting for Martin to finish writing the 6th book

I got through two pages of it, then I threw it across the supermarket aisle and started cussing.
Read Story of O instead.

But whatever you do, do not read "The Story of the Eye".

Just started reading it (I'm only on page 66) and am almost mesmerized by the author's command of expression and his grasp of the writing craft. Even if you don't give a hoot about sculling or the 1936 Berlin Olympics the book is so well written and engrossing that it will immediately pull you into its story. It's one of those true "don't miss" books that don't come along often enough. (I've already bought three copies to give to others)
It was declared:
- New York Times bestseller (Nonfiction, 2013-2014)
- American Booksellers Association's Adult Nonfiction Book of the Year (2014
If you have a scintilla of appreciation for good (excellent) writing you have to read this one. You'll be thanking me.

I checked out Barbara Ehrenreich's Bait and Switch from the library. I enjoyed her sense of sarcasm so much that I added Nickeled and Dimed to my list of things to read, even though coming from working families and being working class myself I doubt the book will have anything surprising in it.
I also checked out a book "In Sam We Trust" by Bob Ortega, the book being about Sam Walton and WalMart. Apparently Sam was so absent minded he hired someone to go retrieve guns he forgot out on the trails during his hunting trips.
