The Book: BLOW

Based on the movie Blow, with Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz.

The Book: For Love of the Game

Based on the movie For Love of the Game, with Kevin Costner and Kelly Preston.

These two are my favorite. Mainly because they are my 2 favorite movies.

Pick up the "Memoirs of U.S. Grant", it's a great read and all true. Critics claim it's one of the best memoirs ever written.

I'm a big fan of Jean M. Auel. She wrote "Clan of the Cave Bear". That was the first in a 5 book series. It's not really in the genre that you read, but a great set anyway. Set in the ice age, when Neanderthals and humans populated the earth at the same time. A great read. The last book is a little disappointing, especially considering I waited 9 years for it, but on the whole, really good.
