books and bikes
As you can see from my current reads list, I am reading too many books at once (I actually have more which are waiting to be opened by me). But there are too many good books out there for me to choose just one. And this list reflects quite a variety: the first is Irish literature (obvious); the second is Friedman's book about the Middle East, destined to be a classic; the third is a book about a Cardinals/Cubs series in August of '03, although it's more about Tony LaRussa's managing style than anything else; and the fourth is a classic on nonfiction writing, which I've barely cracked open.
Also, my blog description will be known only to those of you who are from and/or live in Iowa (todd, this means you).
It refers to the Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa (hence RAGBRAI) which I plan to take part in with various family members/friends/tagalongs next summer. It was started back in the 1970's by two Des Moines Register reporters who wanted to prove that Iowa isn't flat. They proved themselves right.
I promise I will make this blog more interesting, but I thought a little explanation was in order.
