Lonnie Teper's new book "Man inside a thousand Schmoes" is a pretty good read...

that series was the best!! 'The Drawing of the Three' was incredible. i still quote something from it every few days.  "that was before the world moved on, Roland".

  I honestly couldn't get past the first book.  I heard it was awful and the rest were good though-do you share this opinion?

yeah, that one really dragged on. i don't think it would be neccessary to read it to 'get' number 3. i've read it more than once and still feel suspense even though i know what's coming.

I know you said non-fiction, but I just finished "Gods Demon" by Wayne Barlow, it was pretty good for being his first book.

"I Hope They Serve Cold Beer in Hell."    Coming to your neighborhood theater soon.

Hard to believe that they could make a movie out of that one.

"The Informant" - The next Matt Damon flick - I only read the first three chapters so far but the prevues look like it's going to be damn humerous.

"Battlecry"  - I saw it and decided to join the Corps as soon as I got out of school. Real Boot Camp was so much funnier!

"Old Yeller"..... makes ya cry.

"The Other Side" by Bishop Pike .... So controversial that it was never reprinted as far as I can determine.

"So Dear to My Heart"..... great reading for kids who love animals. Disney made the movie many years ago.

And one hell of a great read about a whole village in Europe eating fermented rye bread and going crazy killing everyone. The first victim was the family dog who ate some scraps thrown at him from the dining room table and immediately starts foaming at the mouth and kills the whole damn family, and the whole village proceeds to do likewise.

Anyone recall the name of that one? It was based on a true story in the 1800's.

I'm reading two books on organized crime right now that are really good:
 
"Gomorrah" by Roberto Saviano, a book about the Camorra, the organized crime outfit in Naples,
Italy and "Family Secrets" by Jeff Coan, a book about the Family Secrets trial, the trial that helped
bring down the Chicago Mafia.
