    I just downloaded it from Audible.com. I have a hard time staying focused when reading books, so I'll try the electronic version instead.

    One of my buddies knows Tucker really well. Says he's a sociopath. As I recall they tried to make a movie of Beer in Hell and Tucker went nuts during the filming... It all went in the sh1t can.

    Speaking of sociopaths, Happy Hour is for Ametuers is another entertaining read...

    Had a long flight from Balt to San Diego. Picked up "Decision Points" by George W Bush. Excellent read. From his early days as a businessman, oil investor, unsuccessful attempts to run for congress, days as Governor, and of course his Presidency.

    I am a conservative, but I think even a liberal would find his thought process interesting.

    What did you think of the dog book?

    Still working on Cannonball here. Great read so far, but haven't had a lot of time lately...

    It was a bit depressing, the writer definitely has talent though.

    Damn good read, told both sides of the story and gives you an eye opening how the state interacts with the Feds, (poorly)
