What is the last book(s) you read? (or are reading)

Currently I'm reading the Ranger Apprentice series by John Flanagan. It's quite good as far as teen fiction goes. What pisses me off though is that the last book has already been published in Australia, but it won't be out here till April.

And yes these days I've been reading strictly teen fiction..I don't have to think as much with it.

Falling Hard: A Journey into the World of Judo by Mark Law. It's partly the story of an unathletic English journalist who picks up judo shortly after his 50th birthday and it is partly the story of Judo as a sport and a way of life as told by the people who have immersed themselves in it over its history.

The Greatest Show On Earth (The Evidence For Evolution) by Richard Dawkins.

Best one I've read (and I've read a lot after having finally shed the nonsense i was taught for the first 20 years of my life, in shock how weak the anti-evolution rhetoric is now that I know how to distinguished a good argument from a bad one)

The Glorious Cause: The American Revolution, 1763-1789

I'm almost done, I feel more clear about why we are were we are , but I can't really recomend this book, he spends too much time on minute details that have nothing to do with anything other than really hardcore history nerds might find interesting, and then never returns to later in the book. The first 150 pages are great and the last 150 seem good , but the whole middle of the book is pretty zzzzzzzz. (It is a long book).

I've been meaning to read something on this period of history for 20 years, just never got around to it. Disappointed with this book though, as its often sighted as one of the "modern classics" of the subject.

    • Being astonished... Amazed even, that after gawd awful pain for weeks, now in much less pain it's made me feel mildly okay about living, where just 3 weeks ago in the same condition I'm in now, i was still miserable anyway. Everything being much worse o'er the past two weeks has given me new appreciation for the typical degree of dumpster fire that my life generally is. Now i been looking at it like, "nice, this dumpster fire is way better than that sewage treatment plant fire over there. Damn y'all, I'm sure happy to be in this dumpster fire, not that $h¡† hole  over yonder at least... Hey this is a great dumpster fire here, fo real." Lol
    • Tron you seem to chauffeur a lot. I'm curious if you had any vehicle to choose from, what automobile would you most want to drive for chauffererizing or whatever the future tense twice removed description-like verb, exploitative deleted, adjectiverb or idkwtf form of that word. Errr uh, shit you know what i mean what automobile would you most prefer to cheuffer individuals out of in all the world over? Yeah. $64,000 question of the day right there. Lol 
    • Mine went great, i finally haven't been in excruciating multiple shattered rotted tooth collapsing corroding jawbone pain for most of a whole day for the first time in a week and I went and bought shoes for all three kids and a bunch of clothes they needed at great deals that the wife will be furious and unhappy about.... I mean already is mad about, the second that i told her. And i bought a fresh ass pair of Nike LeBron's for 20 bucks too, which also was great since i left my under armour boots behind at the last hotel like a dumbass. Whooo, i think it was the first day in weeks that i was only mildy miserable instead of being absolutely fμ¢k¡ⁿ miserable like usual lmao. Sry i had to say it somewhere and right here jumped right the hell out at me lol.
    • Warming up.  A couple of hours of cutting grass in this 44 degree weather and I froze.  I am contemplating going back out before the Sun goes down, but most likely, stuff will have to wait until tomorrow's high. 
    • Finally got a clear day to get back to the yardwork and clean out situation.
