Hey, they also have cigars. Making them and smoking them is full time work.

Just finished "My stroke of insight," about a neuroanatomist who had a cerebral hemorrhage at age 37, essentially lost her left brain, and made a complete recovery over eight years. Informative about the plasticity of the brain and its opportunities for recovery, but more interesting was her spiritual enlightenment as she lived more fully in her right brain. Fascinating, hopeful and quick read.

On to "Agility training: The fun sport for all dogs." Oh yes, yes it is, even when the dog you've got is a big galumphing Lab.

In the middle of Lois McMaster Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan series (sci-fi). It is really very good.

I'm reading, Bike Diaries, by David Byrne (Talking Heads). For thirty years Byrne has taken a folding bike along on his travels and used it to explore far flung corners of the cities he visits. His "diaries" are only tangentially about biking. They are primarily riffs on the culture, history, politics, art, architecture and music of the places he visits. An enjoyable read. I have been a Byrne fan since I first saw the video of a Stop Making Sense concert..

Don--that book sounded very interesting to me--I love the music and thought we'd enjoy his book.
I heard an interview on NPR with Magic Johnson and Larry Bird about their new book--might be a good holiday gift for sports buffs in your family. Amazon.com: When the Game Was Ours (9780547225470): Larry Bird, Earvin Johnson Jr., Jackie MacMullan: Books

I am wrapping up Dr. Thomas Stanley's latest book Stop Acting Rich and then on to Superfreakonomics. Great stuff!
