Just finished a good book, Wins, Losses and Lessons, the autobiography of Lou Holtz. I thought Holtz was born in Ohio but found out it was West Virginia.

My three favorite books are:

Enrique's Journey by Sonia Nazario (this book is currently being filmed as an HBO Documentary).

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger (this book is currently being filmed as a major-motion picture starring Rachel McAdams).

Wicked by Gregory Maguire (this book was turned into a broadway musical of the same name).

I read Into The Wild several months ago.

Hate to admit it but I am a big fan of Nicholas Sparks books. In fact I have read every one of them.

I also enjoyed each and every one of the Left behind Series.

Marley and Me is a very good book, given to me for my first Father's Day

I read Bleachers by John Grisham and I really liked it. As you can tell I like sports books and I just finished another called Funny Cide by Sally Jenkins and it was a great book about a tremendous horse.

I read mostly history books and in that category a great book to read is April 1865.

A couple of others that are very good are Gods and Generals, Killer Angels, and Last Full Measure. This is a series of books about the Civil War by Micheal and Jeff Shaara wrote. It makes up dialogue based upon the real events. Very good books.


Two of my favorite books that I have read over and over is by Mick Foley. His two biograoghies are great reads. They are: Have a Nice Day!: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks
Foley is Good: And the Real World is Faker Than Wrestling
