Recently finished the Keith Richards autobiography, "Life". Interesting and entertaining.
Also just reading finished "Man On Wire". Got queasy just looking at the pictures.
Currently reading the Motley Crue autobigraphy. They thought they were the rudest and crudest SOBs in the music business. Then they met Ozzy.

Re: Books
read the William Gibson compilation "Burning Chrome" over the last month. pretty good short stories for airports and movies like Memento.

Reading "George Washington - a Life" by Ron Chernow. About halfway through.
This is not a detailed history and not a fawning biography, but a biography that brings the man to life, showing both his strangths and his weaknesses, successes and failures, high points and low points. A very enjoyable read. I'm just now getting to the battle of Yorktown and, up until this point very late in the war, it's almost unbelievable that he was able to hold things together.

Re: Books
Went to the library today (for the first time in years - damn the interwebs) and checked out a collection of short stories by Mark Twain. Eagerly looking forward to revisiting some old favorites and some I've never read before.
