Coach Wooden and Me - Our 50 year friendship on and off the court by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. A really good rememberence book. The relationship between a 5'10" white guy from Illinois and a 7'2" black man from New York. Very touching. Not really deep but a pleasant read.

White Trash- the 400 year untold history of class in America by Nancy Isenberg, New York Times bestseller. Yes it’s a history book might put some to sleep but I like history........ answers the question “whatever happened to Billy Redden” ?

I finally finished "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett book on cd. I'm not driving as much as I used to. I've already read book two (World without End) in the series so now it is on to "Column of Fire" to finish off this Ken Follett trilogy. This trilogy is a multigenerational story of people living in the fictional town of Kingsbridge, England starting around 1140ac.

Not sure if any of you folks saw this, but it sent my wife and daughter into a tizzy last night. I am a reader, but not like my English-teacher-turned-school-principal-bookworm wife and nose-to-the-grindstone-bookworm-almost-13-year-old-daughter.

The Devil’s Financial Dictionary by Jason Zweig.

Proved my theory that we just gamble on Wall Street, some just pay more to do it. Reads like a book, indexes like a dictionary. Hilarious
