Positively Fifth Street- Tells the story of the author, who went to Vegas to cover the Ted Binion murder trial, bought his way into the World Series of Poker and made it all the way to the final table. If you like poker, you'll love the book. If you've never played poker, you'll love the insight it gives into the game and the caracters that surround it. Excellent.
Into Thin Air- Jon Krakauer (Sp?) puts you on Everest the day so many people died. Explains why he and so many others feel the need to climb and the commercialism that led to the disaster. I've never been interested in climbing, but this book hooked me in quick.
Truman- If you have any interest in Harry Truman as a President or just as a person, this is a must read. David McCoullgh (SP?) take Harry S. Truman from birth to death and seems to fully explain this complex man. Took me a year to get through it's 1,200 pages, but it was well worth it.
