another good read

so i realize im probably a long ways behind the rest of you in reading good books. but thats what happens when you are in grad school. fortunately, i found some time to read a couple good ones lately.
first of all 'you cannot be serious' John McEnroe's autobiography is sweet. humorous and interesting. not to mention a good look into what the top tennis players in the world deal with.
but more recently i just finished reading 'the kite runner'. it is probably one of the best written books i have ever read. i havent had this much trouble putting down a book since i read some of dan brown's a few years ago. so if you havent read this one, or ruined it by seeing the movie, track it down and read it...

hey man. yeah the kite runner is really good. you should give the movie a shot. it's not as good as the book i hear, bit i still enjoyed it quite a bit. a beautiful story of redemption. i also recommend it.

john mcenroe is hilarious! i love watching clips of him flipping out. so funny.

Shannon's been RAVING about the book since she finished it, so maybe it's time to lose the book I'm on currently and trade it in for a winner.

Thanks for the suggestion, Jerm.
