BOOKS I WANT

Hard Call by John McCain and Mark Salter
The Islamist by Ed Husain
The Lucifer Effect by Philip Zimbardo
...plus a bunch of other books I've seen in the nonfiction paperback section of Border's. I love the bargain racks outside and the 50% off paperback section. I practically live there.

Not as many books as I thought I'd read, but oh well. I've read more fic than books this year, actually. And now I'm strongly considering going to Borders to do some heavy reading of Brave New World. (Or that Harold Bloom collection of poetry I've seemingly forgotten. But nah, 3 books is enough for now.)
