I gave up on Decision Points too. But I really liked Laura Bush's book. It was much more interesting than his.
Wow. You, too? Now I don't feel like such a quitter. :}
I will probably come back to this blog post when I need a book to read. Right now though, I've got two book series' to read.
I liked this book list..not a book "list" :)
Um... I'm terribly behind on emails. Terribly. That's what 6 weeks in America and a busy plate will do for you. ;)
I wanted to comment on this to tell you that it inspires me. So far this year I have 25-30 books on my list that I'd like to read... and while I hope to read them all, I've been a bit worried that I'm being too ambitious. But then I saw how many you read last year and thought that perhaps there's hope!
