I've added a new list on my sidebar. Since I read so much, and indeed, can eat small paperbacks for lunch, I thought I'd keep track of everything I've read along with a short, one-sentence review. If a book is particularly good, I may revisit it which will explain anything that shows up more than once.

What I'm Reading
- 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. (**)
I haven't read a good book in ages. You GO, Lisa!
