I got so many books yesterday, I am set.
Gonna start '23 Ways To Get To First Base". A book with the most random sports trivia.
Shoot, I thought it was a book about how to score with women. |

Have you ever read Las Calas? Somehow I just never get to that one, though I have it. |

I'm reading a history of 20th century Middle East (Penguin) and a history of 19th century France right now.
I haven't read any fiction at all in many years.

Banker to the Poor, by Muhammad Yunis.
This is a great book about a Bangladeshi economist's efforts to end world poverty. The author won a Nobel Peace Prize for his organization's accomplishments.

"Muhammad, A Biography of the Prophet" by Karen Armstrong.
Just starting it. Was recommended by a Muslim friend and another pretty knowledgeable friend, who said I will be better informed on Muhammad and Islam than most if I do.

Manhattan Transfer by John Dos Passos. Although written in 1925, it takes place around the turn of the 20th Century. Interesting so far.
