Default Book Recommendations

Currently ordering some stuff on amazon, was going to pick up a few more books.

In the past several months the books I have enjoyed the most (in order)
Freakonomics, Bringing Down the House, Game of Shadows, (book about steroids in baseball), The Game, Catcher in the Rye.

I am somewhat impatient, and cannot get through some slow reading. Tried to get through Atlas Shrugged and about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way through, was stuck on one page and just wasn't getting anywhere. Gave up.


What should I read next?

Read The Caine Mutiny, the excellent book on the Miami Hurricanes football program.

Remminded me, I hadn't read Moneyball though I had intended to.

Michael Lewis's new book, The Blind Side, is a quick, interesting read.
