It was actually surprisingly good... completely far-fetched and ridiculous, but a really fast read ...

Eye of the Albatross by Carl Safina. Safina kicks ass

I've been meaning to read the Grisham book ( Skipping Christmas ) for years now. Unfortunately, it's never at the library around Christmastime! ETA: Holy cow... I just checked my library's website and they actually have multiple copies on the shelf right now! I think I'll swing by the library after ...

Okay, Disney: The Mouse Betrayed COMPLETELY sucked. The first part was okay, if a bit sensationalist and unbelievable. The middle part was pretty boring and I skipped much of it (I don't care about the details of the movies that Miramax makes). They completely lost me at the end. When they started d...
