	Baseball's Natural (1) The Story of Eddie Waitkus (Writing Baseball) By John Theodore Finished on Aug 31, 2008 Add... My Shelf Wish List
Hello, crazy? Table for one... "I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you." You shouldn't write incriminating stuff in your journal, but how would you know? What a weird story, it's intense. About Eddie Waitkus, a baseball player who was shot by Ruth Ann Steinhagen in an early 'stalker' case back in 1949. Things were so laid back then, that kind of trust just doesn't even make sense anymore. Poor guy survived WWII but suffered his worst injury after a game. ...

	Anything Goes (1) By Brian Gallagher Finished on Aug 3, 2008 Add... My Shelf Wish List
Algonquin Round Table, anyone? More from the 'Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle' set. Marjorie Moran 'Neysa' McMein was one of the most successful artists of the '20s and '30s New York (she was the cover artist for McCall's from '23 to '37) and was friends with Irving Berlin and Harpo Marx. Seems the '20s were such a good time they never quite let go of the notion of freedom they were experiencing. ... (continue) More from the 'Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle' set.

	Cruelest Journey (2) Six Hundred Miles To Timbuktu By Kira Salak Finished on Jul 8, 2008 Add... My Shelf Wish List
1 of 1 people find this helpful Kira Salak is tough and smart; she's completely the real deal. I love this book. Kira Salak is introspective, descriptive of the river and how vulnerable anyone is in this natural wonder, she's not fearless but still goes and meets villagers friendly and not. I'm glad I get to live vicariously through her for her travels and life experiences, to know so much more about the people in Mali and Africa so intimately and honestly is extremely generous of her to share with us. ...

	Fahrenheit 451 CD (88) By Ray Bradbury Finished on Feb 8, 2008 Add... My Shelf Wish List
Great storyteller... ...the interview with Ray Bradbury at the end of his reading of the book is worth the listen to him telling about his life, he's a wonderful person. The audio book part is a little bit dry, he isn't a great reader. Is this helpful? ― Posted on Jul 1, 2008 \| Add your feedback
