Constant Reader's recommendation du jour

I just finished a book called American Shaolin, which I enjoyed more than thought I would. It's not that I'm an overly critical sort - for example, I tend to like films most people don't like. But recently I've started reading several highly recommended books that I couldn't even finish past the first chapter or two.

The author of the book, Matthew Polly, has his own Web site here. For reason I'm not sure I understand, I thought he was cuter when he was still a skinny college kid. Hope he doesn't come to Texas and try out his roundhouse kick on me.

I was cuter then. Thanks for the shout out.

You're most welcome.

Now please excuse me while I find a secluded place in which to die of embarrassment.
