Anything by Bill Bryson

Anything by Carl Hiasson (Skinny Dip). Mostly with an anti-development theme in South Florida - think the Everglades with condos.

Anything by Christopher Buckley (esp Little Green Men & Thank You for Smoking.) Son of William F., extremely intelligent writing, and with a welcome irreverence.

In fact, all of these authors are irreverent. Not as much as Hunter S. Thompson but they are guaranteed to have you have you laughing out loud.

Mostly I do books on tape from the library, and listen in the car, or on my walkman at the gym. They really make the miles go faster. My library has a pretty good selection, and can get anything in two counties. I have a "wish list" on-line with them, and when I"m ready for the next book, I order it, and they call me when it comes in - usually in a couple days. So convenient.
