LAST 6 BOOKS READ

1) A Single Step by Heather Mills McCartney: Actually quite an interesting autobio of
the lady who married/divorced the cute Beatle after the death of his 1st wife. Most
of the book tells of how she became a model, lost her leg, and became a spokesperson
for anti-landmine causes and artificial limbs for people in poor countries.

2) The Mask by Dean Koontz: Apparently not one of his most memorable books, since I can't
really remember what it was about...hahaha...

3) Don't Tell Dad by Peter Fonda: Another autobio, encompassing his youth, movie-making
and relationship with his Dad & sister Jane. Fascinating reading, pretty much pulls no punches,
especially about his run-ins with the government.

4) The Lizard King by Jerry Hopkins: A semi-continuation of No One Here Gets Out Alive with new material and interviews about you know who...or you should!

5) The Illuminati by Larry Burkett: A promising novel ruined by an overly pro-"christian'
slant. Why must non-'christians' be the enemy, as if everything is only black or white?
Don't know, but it could have been left out of this book and made a better read overall.

6) Holy Blood, Holy Grail by Baigent,Leigh,& Lincoln: The book that much of Brown's DaVinci
Code was based on. Unfortunately, an overabundance of minute detail makes this a
tough book to read, even though the actual concept is interesting, and if it WAS true,
would probably bring about the end of Christianity as we know it. (Which may not
be a bad thing.)

So, there you have it; a combination of fiction & non-fiction in which the non-fiction books
are actually better overall than the fiction.
