I am reading Six days of War (1967) pretty good with a lot of recent declassified material.

A mystery set in Amsterdam by Janwillem Von Wettering called Death of a Hawker.

That, and a law review article on the use of rock-n-roll lyrics in judicial opinions and legal documents ([Insert song lyrics here]: The uses and misuses of popular music lyrics in legal writing., ALex Long, 2007, 64 Wash. & Lee Law Rev. 531.)

Oh, and at work I'm slowly getting through the DC gun rights case.

i got about halfway through Cervantes' Don Quixote this Spring before setting down on my nightstand indefinitely. i have an unfortunate habit of putting books down when i determine that i've gotten the gist of the story.

i forced my way through Salmon Rushdie's The Moor's Last Sigh, but it was too obtuse for me. Didn't help that it was one of those books that i only read while traveling on business. i had to reread too much to get back into it each time.

right now re-reading 'guadalcanal' by richard b. frank for about the tenth time.

recently finished 'the life of captain james cook' by j.c. beaglehole. absolutely fascinating. as a surveyor, i really appreciate cooks' mapping rectitude and i never truly understood how much he discovered. but that is the thing about cook- not only did he find new places, but he pinned them down very well.

don't have time to waste on fiction. re-reading frank because cook mapped the new hebrides.

Will finish The Boys' Crusade by Paul Fussell tonite.

Right now, I'm on the Throne, reading the greatest magazine ever published. www.hustler.com

I'm reading a bunch of graphic novels right now because I'm a dork like that. I just finished WANTED, what the new movie is based on, and I am moving onto LOBSTER JOHNSON and then I have BATMAN: BROKEN CITY to read after that. Maybe after this I will read an actual book like THE GOLDEN COMPASS or SHERLOCK HOLMES.

Hey Paul,

Here are a few shots of the scooter. It's a 1963 Vespa GL. I did a total restoration a few years back because it was a piece of crap when the place I got it from brought it over from Italy. It is a ton of fun and I hope to get another one one day but the 2002 comes first.

Enjoy

Eric

You are brave and persistent! The only way people read that book in Latin America (and I suspect Spain too) is because they force them! It was obligatory reading on 7th,8th and 9th grade. A chapter a day, 4 days a week! Everybody dreaded El Quijote, more than Algebra, mostly because it was written in old Spanish and it was very dull. We were supposed to "analyze" and interpret the story and there was not much we could come up with!. I don't think anybody reads it for fun. It is supposed to be one of the greatest works in Spanish Literature...not! Maybe the translation is better...

I generally read histories and biographies, but on a whim picked up Norman Mailers, "The Naked and The Dead". It is outstanding. I suspect I'll have to read a lot of his books.

Ive read that one, its a longer! Right now im making my way through the Koontz catalogue.... damn prolific prick, i dont think i'll ever catch up (although i can polish one of his 400 pagers in about 6 hours)....

Compelling arguement alleging Alexander Graham Bell stole the key idea for the telephone from Elisha Gray. Considered the most valuable patent in history.

Eric -

someday....I keep telling myself....I'll find one I can afford.

They're getting huge around Baltimore these days.
