Richard North Patterson's "Protect & Defend" which is a fictional story about what happens when the President has to nominate a new Supreme Court candidate. I started it before SDO resigned, but now it feels like urgent reading.

I finished the Harry Potter book and started to read "The New York's Road Runners Club Complete Book on Running and Fitness, 3rd edition"

Ooohhh I read the White House Years written by his son. Not being American, I wasn't aware of all he did. An unbelievable man. But reviled by many in his time.

I browsed the article. Thus far that's not exactly what the book is about. It is part natural history, part autobiography right now. I don't know yet if it'll get into human evolution for running, though I imagine it will. It also talks about Heinrich training for an ultramarathon. I haven't read any of it in a week or so. I was using it as light bathroom reading for a while, but got distracted by Harry Potter.

I have this book on my shelf (along with Theodore Rex, the follow up volume), but haven't cracked the cover yet. I went through a stretch where I bought a bunch of history type books and I still haven't read them.

You should before school starts... it's mostly an easy read... the interesting part is that it doesn't lean left or right, it provides a new means of thoughtful analysis of numbers
BTW, I understand that Levitt is the guy who first proposed that the passage of Roe v. Wade was the contributing cause to the lowering crime rate in 80's.

meh~~~ i don't like mystery novels, isn't stephanie a detective or something? not. floating. my. boat. thank you, more suggestions are welcome! i tend to like depressing books. :? i find reading fiction such a waste of my time (and i have no idea why :x ) that i have a hard time getting interested unless it's really really dark, i guess. which sucks cuz i need to lighten up, on the whole, i need to lighten up. dark but funny. yeah, that's the ticket.
