    Picked up the first book at Target today. I'll start it in a couple of days.

    hoping Tools of Titans will be a decent read. If nothing else, should make one helluva doorstop.

    Drop me off the cliff notes. I don't need billionaire notes, I'll be fine with staying in the low 100 millions.

    It is a little thick, hoping there's lots of pictures of the mother of Dragons

    I got a copy of the 1939 English translation of Mein Kampf, the only version approved by Nazi Germany, from my brother-in-law for Christmas. He found it in a London antique store. An interesting relic of history, but I'm not sure if I should read it or put it on my bookshelf at home.

    I really liked Divergent but the next 2 were a lot more young-adulty

    Half-Blood Prince was the best Harry Potter book so far. Writing and story was very very good. Starting Deathly Hallows now.

    I'd spend the 50 coconuts on those really good jelly beans.

    Halfway through Deathly Hallows and this is the first time I am ready for it to be over. Tired of page after page of three teenagers arguing over stuff.

    Bout to finish this up. Not sure how it won a pulitizer. I thought art of power was much better and both Chernow bios I've read blew this away.

    Last time I start an uncompleted series.

    This book was amazing (for sword and sorcery nerds), and I know I can't move but one more day forward.
