Read Randi, READ LIKE THE WIND!!!

Suggestions:

Start with lite reading like Superman and Archie...U can easily knock off 20 books that way...

Then goto Vonnegut, I suggest his greatest work -Cat's Cradle-

Stay away from books like Moby Dick and Silas Marner

Best to grab Louie and hit the Public Library as books these days are pricey....

Don't bother with Profiles in Courage as JFK didn't really write it....

I Robot is a great book---The movie stunk compared to the book

Stay away from Das Capital by Karl Marx as his "Value Theory of Labor" is algebraically flawed

Education of a Golfer by Sam Snead

Agathie Christie is a winner!

The Conan the Barbarian books I found boring


Letter from a Selma Jail by MLK is great and I would count that as a book.....

***Love-Dadddd***

I just thought of another that U might like-----John Lennon's (of the Beatles) book called a Spaniard in the Works....There are two hysterically funny stories, one about a woman(?) who was always larfing [U will larf too] and another about a Budgie....This blogging is fun![Oh No! says Randi's friends, your daddd is blogging Run Randi Run!

The sad but true fact of life is however that I don't much care for James Patterson So I won't be putting him on my list this year.

Tammy and I have come up with a couple more suggestions. Have we ever steered you wrong? Dear Zoe by Philip Beard is good. It's also short, so you should breeze right through it. Whistling in the Dark by Lesley Kagen is excellent. The Dave Robicheaux books by James Lee Burke are very good if you want to try a detective novel. I just finished The Tin Roof Blowdown. It was great.

The true fact of life is listen to your mother-in-law...read Erma Bombeck for hysterical stories on motherhood. It will make you want a dozen or so...just kidding, it might be the best birth control there is....:)
