    That book sounds like a blast. I hated American history and it would be nice to see what I presume is a darker side.

              You should have told me... I would have recommended another one (sciency) too!

                I didn't have time to read, so I started getting audiobooks. I spend an hour at least in the car daily, so I "read" in the car now. It's awesome. I don't feel like it's a total waste anymore.

                So, I have that book in audio format... I'll see if I can make it mp3 and host it, for anyone who'd like it.

                If you think audiobooks are for you, check out www.audible.com.

                    I have a bunch of books on tape and CD from when my brother drove across country from California to Washington DC. I have Tusdays with Morrie and Don Quixote and a bunch of John Grisham. It's good stuff. Sometimes I 'read' at the gym because for the life of me I can't figure out how people actually read while they are bouncing around on machines. It's a great alternative.

                    In order to spare my bank account, I refuse to click on your link.
