What are you looking forward to reading next? Me "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns
Goodwin (The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln). Please tell me it is one of her better ones.

1. After I'm done with Ice & Fire (two-and-a-half books to go)...
...I'm gonna take another stab at The God Delusion, then I'm diving into The Black Company.

3. I'm going to attempt to tackle "That Used To Be Us" by Thomas Friedman
I'm also getting the audiobook version of "Hot, Flat, & Crowded" by the same author.

I got about 1/3 through the audiobook version of Team of Rivals (read by John-Boy Walton, no less). I just don't think I was in the right frame of mind at the time. I have vowed to give it another shot.

6. Just started reading Jimmy Carter's "White House Diary"
It's his diary entries from his four years in the White House with some commentary or explanation from him. It's pretty fascinating.

7. Picked up "Why I became an Atheist" at the bookstore yesterday
by John W. Loftus.
Loftus was a christian apologist who finally could no longer believe what he was defending.
I read some at the store and it really breaks down the bible and the real problems with believing any of it.
