BOOKS! I'm about to head to the lie-berry to pick up some books for this weekend's trip to Vegas, and it occurred to me that I've finished a few books since the last one I mentioned. I don't tend to be much of a reader, but I find myself really "into" books lately so I'm gonna ride that enthsiasm as long as I can...  How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale (Jenna Jameson) What I Expected: An interesting story about an interesting woman with an interesting history. What I Got: 5 of the 6 "books" inside were fascinating and I had a hard time putting them down. Book 3 was 120 pages of Jenna & family reminiscing... "I remember when you came home from that, panting...We had police esorts after that..." etc etc. I own this book if anyone would like to borrow it.  Why Not Me?: The Inside Story of the Making and Unmaking of the Franken Presidency (Al Franken) What I Expected: Dmitry suggested this as being highly entertaining and "mindless airplane reading." What I Got: Laugh out loud mindless airplane reading.  The Dinner Club: How the Masters of the Internet Universe Rode the Rise and Fall of the Greatest Boom in History (Shannon Henry) What I Expected: The inside scoop on the dot com era. What I Got: Really good at times, this book focused primarily on high tech in the Washington DC area. It didn't really follow a logical flow of time rather than throw somewhat-connected stories at you one after another until it abruptly ends.
