I weathered Crime and Punishment in high school, which I was proud of, though I would probably get more out of now.

I just have remember to read on nights I'm not drinking, because I just can't handle "serious" books with any sort of buzz.

I read The Brothers Karamazov in a Philosophy course, I hated the teacher but I remember liking the book.

So what book are you currently reading or is located on your bedroom night table

As for myself, "An Innocent Man" by john grisham

one of the best books i've ever read. makes you think twice about our chit justice system. i know you are in law school and sorry to dis the system, but i'm sure you know it sucks. i guess its the only one we have though.

as for the book, it is the best book grisham has ever done. its not his typical bubble gum good attorney takes on the world. its non fiction, but he tells it just like a story.

interesting to hear your take on it when u finish.


as for currenty reading, just finished baldaci the collectors and started vince flynn acts of treason. by far my favorite author next to demille.

i read alot though. probably would surprise some.

This is a nonfiction book that is unlike any of his other books. It's a true story of the railroading of several men for a crime they did not commit. Very good book, and very infuriating.

i have read most of grisham's earlier books & found them to be severely lacking in any kind of substance & found them to be very predictable.....it was like he was writing with hollywood in mind.

BDB, Flynn is currently my favorite. Just need more books now.

BLG, I've read that book a few times. I trade futures and it's a staple if your a trader.

Somewhere in Corn Country
"Barbarism with a human face", Bernard Henri-Levy.
He argues that the left has refused to see the failures of Marxism and he attacks one of its biggest supporters, Jean-Paul Sarte. Published in 1977.

Just started this one--decided on it after reading his "A Letter to the American Left" and will most likely follow this one up with "Who killed Daniel Pearl? or his newest "American Vertigo" where he retraces the journey of de Tocqueville thru America....

Just something about those French philosophers....:mj07:
