Richard Grant, "God's Middle Finger". True account of a British
adrenaline junkie's attempt to travel the length of Mexico's Sierra
Madre. Drug smugglers, religion-crazed Indians, more drug smugglers,
the drug economy, people who help for no reason, people who try to
kill him for no reason, more drug smugglers. Finally, being hunted for
sport in a forest and an escape back to the US border. My favorite
book of 2008.

This year's front runner, John LeCarre, "The Constant Gardener", which
reminds me of the health care debate.

A good companion read to Wally Lamb's novel on Columbine ~

"Columbine," a journalist's coverage after suppressed testimony was
released from the National Archives, after a 20-year court-ordered
hold.

[There's a lot stuff you probably didn't know in this book!]

Correction ~

The Natonal Archivs stash has a 28-year hold, which releases testimony
on 2027. But lots of other stuff remained unreleased for many years.

Some helpful views on Evangelical Christian communities, too.

The Lost Symbol, by Dan Brown.

A stong message against literal interpretation vs. allegory and
metaphor, and a scathing indictment against covert government systems;
as well an historical appreciation of the inconography of Washington
DC.

I particularly apprecitated the author's references to "blacking out
with fear" and the severe pain of having a man kneel on your bicep.

"Heartbreak Hotel," Anne Rivers Siddons.

"Her education at Auburn University from 1954 to 1958, where she
earned a bachelor's degree, became the inspiration for her first
novel, Heartbreak Hotel (1976), which subsequently became the film
Heart of Dixie in 1989. At Auburn she worked as a writer for the
college newspaper. An editorial she wrote favoring integration was
recognized nationally but criticized by the school administration, and
a second, similar editorial led to her dismissal from the newspaper."
