2006 midzman book list

Next Man Up; A year behind the lines in today's NFL - John Feinstein - great insight into the NFL.
Fargo Rock City - Chuck Klosterman - If you were a metalhead in the 80's, you HAVE to read this book. After reading you will be pulling out your copies of Out of the Cellar and Skid Row.


A Brief History of Time - Stephen Hawking
Rabbit Redux - John Updike
Rabbit Run - John Updike
The Village - John Updike
Devil's Feather - Minette Walters - Bought this in Germany in the tiny english section, quite a dropoff in writing skill between updike and percy, but sometimes mindless suspense is just what the dr. ordered
The Moviegoer - Walker Percy - Meaning of life book, Love the writing style. Very Bret Easton Ellis in the 60s.
My Friend Elmore - James Barry - Disappointing follow up to MLP. Not sure there is a reason to read this.
Fantasyland - A Season on Baseball's Lunatic Fringe - Sam Walker - Absolute must read for anyone that has played rotisserie or fantasy sports of any kind http://www.fantasyland.com/
Last Exit to Brooklyn - Hubert Selby Jr.
A Million Little Pieces - James Barry - Excellent book, the irrelevance of whether it is "true" of not is not to be debated.
Buffaloed: How Race, Gender and Media Bias fueled a Season of Scandal - Bruce Plaskett - Must read for all the haterz
Angels & Demons - Dan Evans - Poor 2nd half of the book like Da Vinci Code
