HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Just finished this one...have to say I really enjoy the wacky writing style of this guy. You kind of have to be on your toes to catch all of the humor that sneaks its way into every sentence. Thanks anna and scott for sending it my way.

Anderson Cooper's Dispatches from the Edge
Fascinating story line. Although not as detailed and specific as I thought it would be, still an interesting read. I really liked getting the journalist's perspective on worldwide disaster events. He made me want to get off my booty and start writing some articles that would attempt to right some wrongs. I must say though, I wasn't impressed with his writing skills. I guess as an on-the-spot TV reporter has different writing/speaking skills than a print journalist. The fast-paced lifestyle pours into his detail writing, or lack there of.

Left To Tell
For a woman who isn't known as a writer, this woman is an amazing story-teller. In addition the story she tells is beyond impressionistic. This book should be in your hands within the next 24 hours. The truth about the Rwandan genocide and its aftermath has opened my eyes, once again, to the blessed life I live. You won't want to put this book down.
