  1. Anatomy of a Murder by Michigan Supreme Court Justice John D. Voelker under the pen name Robert Traver.
  2. Job: A Comedy of Justice -- Robert A. Heinlein.
  3. The Old Man and the Sea -- Earnest Hemingway.
  4. Old Yeller, Kids and YA What a great book. But parents today wouldn't consider letting their kids read a book without a fairy tale ending. (Really is a great book.)
  5. Mad: A Novel (Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know Trilogy) -- Chloe Esposito
  6. After giving up on Margaret Atwood's Life Before Man, I found another of her books, The Blind Assassin in the car. I started reading it and I think it's great. Cannot figure her out. I'm still reading the Atomic Accidents book. The author makes it as reader friendly as he can but he's describing the discovery and first uses of radioactive material. He describes an incident in which young women painted radium on the hands and numbers of watches so they'd glow in the dark. They glowed great but the work was so detailed the women had to spin the brush between their lips twice per watch. First their gums bled. Then their teeth fell out. Then things got really bad. I remember watching a documentary about these women and that factory years ago.
  7. Cold and nasty outside. I turned on my iPod and slept. I highly recommend this option (yawn.)
