i think "hot legs" ranks right up there with "round and round" by ratt (perfect for spiraling the pole), "pour some sugar on me" by def leopard (good for a slow dance when you're tired and sweaty and happen upon a big tipper) and "angel in the centerfold" by j. giels band (always good to have the dj play when you recognize your old high school quarterback sitting drunk in the audience. these songs courtesy of my sister, the oldest stripper in tennessee.
Edward Ugel: Money For Nothing Subtitled, One Man's Journey Through The Dark Side Of Lottery Millions. (****)
Susan Braudy: This Crazy Thing Called Love The true story behind the Billy Woodward shooting, the case on which Dominick Dunne based his novel, The Two Mrs. Grenvilles. (*****)
Matt Birbeck: A Beautiful Child True story about the mysterious life and death of a young woman who's real identity still remains unclear. Excellent read. (****)
Richard Yates: Revolutionary Road A novel about the alienation arising from living in the "perfect" suburbs. Hailed as a great literary book. I thought it was okay, at best. (**)
Annie Proulx: Close Range, Wyoming Stories A collection of lyrical short stories from Annie Proulx that contains Brokeback Mountain among other gems. (****)
John Grisham: The Innocent Man I can only quote from the jacket blurb: "If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you."
A must read. (*****)
Nancy Caldwell Sorel: The Women Who Wrote The War Fascinating look at women journalists at the front during WWII. (****)
Jack Olsen: Charmer Riveting true crime by a master. (****)
Ann Rule: Too Late To Say Good Bye Excellent telling of the Bart Corbin cases. (****)
Michael Crichton: Airframe Ehhh. Better than the back of a cereal box, I guess. (**)
