DFWMUstangs Book/Reading list

[Strychnine]

I started Decision Points Sunday, and am about halfway through it now. Regardless if you agree with the man's politics or not, I think this is a must read. I really haven't been able to put it down, and its been a long damn time since I've said that about a book.

I finally got around to starting it last week. I'm about 2/3 of the way through now.

Love the line from Tony Blair re: burning down the White House in 1812.

"So, uh, I know it's a bit late... but we're sorry."

LOL

Gotta love the British sense of humor. That's awesome.

Reading The Pumphouse Gang by Tom Wolfe right now. Excellent counterpoint to Hunter S Thompsons views of the 60s.

[BP]

The Hells Angels by Hunter S Thompson and Full Disclosure by the guys at The Ticket.

I just finished The Rum Diary, the movie is supposed to come out some time this year. Good book.

Decision Points.

Great book! Second best president in the history of the United States.

Pretty damn good. The movie has been done for awhile. For dome reason they keep delaying it. Damn it.

Lmgdao! Go stare at Mt Rushmore for about twenty minutes and rethink that...

I've been trying to get through The Robber Barrons by Matthew Josephson for months. The 1920-30s style of writing just doesn't sit well with me for some reason.

At the same time I have been reading a lot of Osprey publishing's military history books. Things like Agincourt, The Hundred Years War and the Plains Wars of the late 1800s.

I think Depp is worried about becoming like Jeff Goldblum or Wil Smith. Star in more than a couple of major films a year and people get tired of you. Pirates 4 comes out in May, I'd expect this one to come out sometime late in the year. Unless he's working on something else major.

[Hicompression]

Just started We Though We Heard the Angels Sing. Its the story of Eddie Rickenbacker's crash in the Pacific during World War II. He and the crew of the flying fortress spent about a month floating around in a dingy waiting for a rescue that almost never came.

That's nuts! I got to look into that. How many survived?

7 out of the 8. Truly an amazing story.

Valley Forge (Newt Gingrich) is next on my list, if only I could find a bootleg version.

I've got a few books on the way that were recommended to me by OldGuysRule (Eric), but I'll have to a start stack now.
