#2

So I finished book #2 of 2010. Yay! Trail Fever was really really interesting. I got this behind the scene look at John McCain and Bob Dole. New found respect for JM. But I'm feeling pretty anxious for an inspirational candidate in the 2012 election. Looking for someone that the party can rally behind. Maybe a lil RJS!?!? Apparently if Pat Buchanan had one the primary he would've taken Santorum as his running mate. Also, I'm really interested in Morry Taylor, aka The Grizz. That guy has some crazy ideas.

I finished Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test earlier this month and our book club met for it's 4th meeting this past Friday night. It was awesome. Even with the new members we've added our group is really fun. We ate sushi @ Sukura and then headed to Annie Bailey's after. I've got to say, good wine, good books, good friends, & good conversation, what more is there?

Reflections on Kool-Aid Acid Test

(1) Don't really agree with their message, but I love this whole idea of a group coming together, being part of a larger purpose and being committed to each other. I can embrace that.

(2) My 2 favorite characters were Sandy & Faye. But I think it's because I don't know enough about them. I think of Faye as this quiet strength in the group. I really wish Tom Wolfe had gone more into detail about Sandy.

(3) You know, I'll always be on the bus... :-)

I'm almost finished with Trail Fever. I really like Michael Lewis. I know he's a liberal atheist journalist. But I still really like his books. Moneyball is one of my top 5. Trail Fever is fascinating. I feel like I know so much more about specific politicians because I've been given this behind the scenes look.

We're reading In A Pit With A Lion On A Snow Day with The Living Room and I'm really feeling that. Simple, but meaningful. I recommend it. I'm on chapter 5.
