re: 3rd book, from the family that got me hooked, apparently, he is a bit of a perfectionist and it took him 7+ years of editing to get the first two out...  not looking forward to the wait for #3, almost done with #2... now you have me nervous, lol

The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan.

Man, our food industry is really screwed up.  But regardless I recommend this book to anyone who's interested in knowing something about your food and where it comes from/ how it's made.  Pollan is good because he isn't "preachy" and generally sticks to reporting instead of proselytizing most of the time.

Just started, but heartwarming read about a Wonderful Man & Father (and founder of the Peace Corps)

Led Zeppelin: The Biography, by Bob Spitz

Yeah, just what the World needs, another Zep bio...  have  read more than my share, and am really enjoying this one too...  it is a little drier in writing style than say 'Hammer of the Gods' so far, ie, more factualish historical account than back of the tour bus/hotel rooms kinda thing...   

[Blackout]

This thing still on? I found Ozzy's autobiography at a thrift store. Helluva read and in Ozzy's voice.
Also just read A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles. I'm big into Russian literature so this was right in my wheelhouse. Outstanding read.
