"The Racketeer" by John Grisham

 

Profiles of Audacity didn't really sweep me off my feet since the scenarios were often only a few pages long so there wasn't much analysis or in depth discussion of how decisions were made.

I've just started reading The House of Gucci by Sara Gay Forden. One of these days I should try reading some fiction.

 

"Life of Pi" by Yann Martel

 

Have you seen the movie? I loved it but have too many unread books sitting here to justify looking at any others.

House of Gucci was okay. Didn't realize how dramatic their family dynamics were! I've moved on to Margaret Laurence's memoirs, Dance on the Earth. Pretty sure I read it back in my early 20s, but my perspective will definitely be different this time around.

 

I'd try, The Empty Bottle Tales XVII: UnkieTrunkie works security at Nirvana's last Seattle concert. It's based on a true story.

That said, to tell grunge's story best, I'd get a book about music in Seattle starting in the early 60's, when their garage music scene kicked off. . .

 

I haven't seen the movie yet. I saw that it was on one of the cable channels when I was flipping channels the other day and then saw the book at the library so I picked it up. I finished it this morning on the train. I liked it for the most part.

 

"Thomas Jefferson, The Art of Power" by Jon Meacham

 

I can't seem to find The Empty Bottle Tales on amazon or Indigo. Should I start seeking it out at second hand stores?
