Just Remembered....
I just remembered, I do have a blog.... Just kidding. I have been very busy through the holidays, and things are just now starting to slow down. I haven't done a whole lot of reading recently....I really should get back to it. I have several books that I have either started, and need to finish, or bought with some Christmas money that I haven't started. Here are a few that are coming.....
- I really need to finish All the King's Men.....
- I have also gotten 1/2 way through The Innocent Man....I should really get to it.....
- I bought The Road, by Cormac McCarthy last week. When I saw it at the store, I couldn't place his name, but when I got home I went through my shelves and found something else by him: Blood Meridian. I never really got into that book....I guess I am going to give him a second chance.
- In the Historical Department I got Common Sense, and Other Writings by Thomas Paine. I really like Paine as a historical figure. I think his writings, many of which have ties to those of John Locke, shaped this nation....
So, there you have it....a list of what is to come....you should know, however, that there is a chance that I will get distracted by yet another book. I also has several John Grisham novels that I haven't read yet. I probably won't blog them, however, because I do a lot on Grisham as it is.

I just read your blog and see you like John Grisham Books. You may want to put this book on your reading list. They call it the companion book to The Innocent Man. I read something about it, here is what Read: Who And Where Is Dennis Fritz, You say after reading John Grisham's Wonderful Book "The Innocent man", Grisham's First non-fiction book. The Other Innocent Man hardly mentioned in "The Innocent Man" has his own compelling and fascinating story to tell in "Journey Toward Justice". John Grisham endorsed Dennis Fritz's Book on the Front Cover. Dennis Fritz wrote his Book Published by Seven Locks Press, to bring awareness about False Convictions, and The Death Penalty. "Journey Toward Justice" is a testimony to the Triumph of the Human Spirit and is a Stunning and Shocking Memoir. Dennis Fritz was wrongfully convicted of murder after a swift trail. The only thing that saved him from the Death Penalty was a lone vote from a juror. "The Innocent Man" by John Grisham is all about Ronnie Williamson, Dennis Fritz's was his co-defendant. Ronnie Williamson was sentenced to the Death Penalty. Both were exonerated after spending 12 years in prison. Both Freed by a simple DNA test, The real killer was one of the Prosecution's Key Witness. John Grisham's "The Innocent Man" tells half the story. Dennis Fritz's Story needs to be heard. Read about how he wrote hundreds of letters and appellate briefs in his own defense and immersed himself in an intense study of law. He was a school teacher and a ordinary man from Ada Oklahoma, whose wife was brutally murdered in 1975. On May 8, 1987 while raising his young daughter alone, he was put under arrest and on his way to jail on charges of rape and murder. Since then, it has been a long hard road filled with twist and turns. Dennis Fritz is now on his "Journey Toward Justice". He never blamed the Lord and soley relied on his faith in God to make it through. He waited for God's time and never gave up.
I'm afraid I share your predicament!
GAH! Don't get me started on the Innocent Man. I'm going to throw it upside Ms. J's head. Whenever we talk about capital punishment (which is a lot, much to my chagrine) she brings it up. <_< Rawr.
