Pretty fun quick read about a Jewish barnstorming baseball team in the 1920 following the bad advice of a promoter.
A great story dealing with growing up, comic books and soul music. What could be better?
Not my favorite Bill Bryson book, but only because this isn't my favorite subject matter... still laugh out loud funny at times but I'm not much of a nature person and a whole book on hiking didn't hold a whole lot of interest for me, fortunately this is balanced out with anecdotes concerning his hiking partner, Stephen Katz.
Took some time to get into it, but in the end I liked it... the last third of the book was pretty griping.
About as an insightful book as you're going to find given the reclusiveness of its subject.
Garcia Marquez's memoirs of his early years as a journalist and a writer reads just as well (if not better) than his fiction novels.
Just finished with this book, and I can say that this my least favorite David Sedaris' books that I've read. Every story just seems to highlight his absolute worst traits.
While I have yet to make much of a dent in Atlas Shrugged, I really enjoyed the Fountainhead.
Favorite book ever, read it for a comparative literature class in college and have reread it many times since
A pretty funny satire of religion and armageddon, didn't always fire on all cylinders, but when it did it was fairly amusing.
A great introduction to the physics of space and black holes, this book collects the author's well-written, and often funny, essays on a variety of space and astronomy related subjects.
An enjoyable book, but kind of disappointing when compared to “Fortress of Solitude”
Pretty fascinating account of the Colombian kidnappings carried out on behalf of drug kingpin Pablo Escobar
