Generally I go light with my choices for summertime reading, but I thought I'd go a little heavier this year with these two.

Presidential Courage: Brave Leaders and How They Changed America 1789-1989 (http://www.amazon.com/Presidential-Courage-Leaders-Changed-1789-1989/dp/0684857057/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_k2a_2_txt/105-7458866-2018024)

Where Have All The Leaders Gone (http://www.amazon.com/Where-Have-All-Leaders-Gone/dp/1416532471/ref=pd_bbs_1/105-7458866-2018024?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1181161635&sr=1-1)

how about you folks?

I used to read a hell of a lot, but I've slowed down. The problem is that I can read an average sized book in one sitting/night, and after that I'm left more or less unsatisfied and wanting more. I could slow down I guess but then I get frustrated at my lack of rapid progress.

Excellent choice.

Right now, I'm splitting time between BMW of North America v. Gore (517 U.S. 559), Douglas Adams, and college football preview magazines.

All the Harry Potters. Trying to space them out a bit so I finish #6 right when #7 comes out. I'm about 1/4 of the way through Goblet of Fire right now.

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay (Finished)
The Yiddish Policemen's Union (Finished)

Just picked up a couple of Cory Doctorow novels today, so I'm going to use them as spacing between GoF OoP and HBP.
