!!PLAY RACQUETBALL!!
I love taking the Gold Line to work. Not only does it save me money, but it gives me time to read, which I normally don't have. I finished reading The Last Juror by John Grisham, and it was quite good. It was a pretty fast, interesting read.

I also read Broken Prey by John Sandford. It's exactly what I've come to expect from Sandford, a good, fast-paced thriller. He gets my attention, and I am normally able to knock out one of his books in two or three days. I sometimes wish he'd go into a little bit more detail or stretch out certain parts of the story, but after so many books in the series, you pretty much know the main characters and all the build up isn't entirely necessary.

After that, I read Night Fall by Nelson DeMille. I forgot how this book was recommended to me, but I had it on my list to get from the library. I was so pleasantly surprised by this book, and I'll definitely check out another book or two by DeMille. Basically, he takes the actual plane crash of TWA Flight 800 off Long Island, NY in 1996 and creates his story around that. The detective looks into the possible cover-up of the plane crash five years after it occurred. I found it to be a very capivating read. Not only was the story very interesting, but I really enjoyed the lead character, detective John Corey. It's not often any kind of book gets me to laugh out loud, but DeMille gave Corey a great sarcastic sense of humor. Most of the book is pretty dramatic, but Corey had me cracking up at times. I was up until 4am finishing this one a couple nights ago, so it comes very recommended, if you're looking for a good suspense.

Oh... one more recently read... The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy: And Other Stories by Tim Burton. Just a few dark, funny short stories/poems but something you should check out if you're a fan of Tim Burton.
