| | | The Beach by Alex Garland. It came before the movie and is a lot better. My War Gone By, I Miss It So by Anthony Lloyd If I'm looking for just a fun read, any of Clive Cussler's stuff. Angels and Demons and The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown. I'm trying to find K-PAX by Gene Brewer at a library around here. I've given Amazon.com enough of my money I'm trying to find books more like K-PAX.

| | | Most of the stuff I've been reading lately is non-fiction dealing with urban history, planning and politics. A few good books I've read lately are... American Pharaoh by Adam Cohen and Elizabeth Taylor, it's subject being the late mayor Richard J. Daley and his rise in Chicago politics. A dense read, but I think anyone interested in urban American politics, especially the period from the mid-50's to the late 70's, would like this book. How Cities Work by Alex Marshall. A short, very readable book about urban planning, specifically the (negative) effect car-culture and highways have on urban sprawl and how we live. The Immortal Class by Travis Hugh Culley. A autobiographical book dealing with Culley's job as a bike messenger in Chicago. His observations about car vs. bike culture in Chicago are pretty interesting. I should probably say that Travis is a friend of mine so I may be a bit biased, but it really is a good book. Okay, that's it for now... -N
