I generally like to have a few going at the same time, too. My key has been to have one of two or three categories. Like a light fiction, a heavier fiction and a non-fiction. But not two of the same category. After having another little one, I’m lucky to read more than Curious George and Dr. Suess. However, I am slowly working my way through “Decision Points” by George W. I didn’t always agree with him, but it’s obvious he tried to right thing.
I have “Decision Points” on my desk. Looking forward to reading it.
GWB was a disappointment as POTUS, but I have huge respect for him. I think he is a very decent person. Never has a POTUS been smeared so unfairly the way he was. And yet, he stuck to his guns.
I believe history will be kinder to Bush, especially regarding Iraq. I think the success of the Iraqi democracy is as big a reason for the uprisings as anything.
Otherwise, I’m like you in that I like to read a heavy fiction (Clancy), light fiction (Star Wars), and a non-fiction. The one I pick up each night depends on my mood. I’m kinda shifty, which is probably a character defect.
And, of course, I read the Bible every morning, and sometimes it is the book I pick up at night, especially lately.
