    As of yesterday, I started reading "Proficient Motorcycling" by David L. Hough.

    I'm currently taking the Rider's Edge 4 day beginner's class and need all the help I can get. This was highly recommended.

    Great book! When the binding fails (the quality sucks), punch holes in it put it in a binder. You'll want to re-read parts of it occasionally.

    Great book.....Fun read on the Duke-Carolina rivalry from an extremely biased source! But, as a sports addict, it's easy to get into.

    Let me know what you think....

    Kublai Khan- by John Man.

    I liked his book about Ghengis Khan. I have always been fascinated by the Mongol empire.

    Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon.

    After that (it'll be a while) I'll probably re-read some of my favorite Kurt Vonnegut books.

    just finished:

    Too Small to Ignore by Wes Stafford (president of Compassion International).
    - what he saw as a son of a missionary in a poor village in Africa and
    then what he suffered at the hands of abusive adults in a boarding
    school for children of missionaries is wrenching.

    Next on my list is Operation Yao Ming : The Chinese Sports Empire

    It was a good book, but it seems like it would not make for a good movie. The story is all over the place, no characters are followed for more than a few pages. Could work as an episodic TV show (and they wouldn't even need series regulars, could have a whole new cast every week), but just doesn't work as a movie without major changes. Another zombie book, Day by Day Armageddon, would also be difficult to adapt to a movie, but for different reasons.

    Digging for the Truth on History Channel did a show about Gengis Khan (actually Chinngis Khan). It was one of the more interesting shows. Maybe available on the torrents.
