You may be asking yourself, "Why should I listen to a random guy who I don't even know as to what books I should read?" Good question. (If you asked my wife, she would probably say you shouldn't. She stopped listening to me a long time ago, but I digress.) Anyway, here's the answer, because I'm just like you. I've been married for just short of an eternity. I have a couple of kids, a job, and a bunch of bills. I love sports, booze, swearing, hanging out with the fellas, and reading. I read a lot. I read at lunch, I read on the throne, I read every night in bed before drifting off to a fitful sleep (Why am I reading as opposed to doing something a little bit more cardio intensive in bed before going to sleep? See above.) Anyway, I've been building my library for a few years now and have over 270 volumes in it. I'll be posting a couple of reviews a week (in theory). I'll start with some of my favorites from the past and add new books as I finish them. Read the reviews, buy the books, and enjoy!

Somewhere in Ireland a Village is Missing an Idiot by David Feherty

Since we've talked about 'ol Dave ad nauseum lately, I'll make this brief.  This is a collection of his early rants from Golf magazine and golfonline.com.  While they are very entertaining, if you are a long time follower of Feherty, there is no reason to buy this book.  If not, go ahead and get it.  Our Irish/Texan friend can always use the money to keep him in Bushmills and percocet.

Foreign Influence by Brad Thor

Brad Thor has written a bunch of very good espionage thrillers in the past.  This is another in that fine heritage.  With the demise of the Soviet Union, we needed a new bad guy for all these books, movies, and tv shows.  Unfortunately, radical Islam has been more that happy to take its place (note to Jihadists who may be reading this; don't shoot me (the messanger).  This is pretty much common knowledge at this point). 

I've noticed that these books tend to be getting a little racier these days.  This one, bless 'ol Brad's heart, starts with kinky dwarf sex followed by a bloody assasination attempt.  It then continues later to have a hot all female Delta Team who pose as prostitutes.  Good times.  Good times....

This was a very entertaining read.  Go get it and enjoy.
