I just finished reading Tough Guy, Bob Probert's autobiography. Been reading a lot of autobios lately.

probert was duh man! guy had a jaw made from cast iron...and fists to match.

Probert and John Kordic are my all-time favorite NHL enforcers. Both died way too young (cocaine...it's a helluva drug).

Great book. I'm reading that again along with Why We Suck by Dennis Leary (I need to send that back to you Smurf).

I'm glad you're reading it. It's only taken you two years!! Great book!

The Game - Neil Strauss

Lol. Interesting book but so many of those guys were complete tools.

The CEO/president/founder of the company I work for was featured in that magazine.

In ten years I'd love to make it there too.

Right now I'm about halfway through The Descent by Jeff Long. Sort of a horror novel couched in a classic Jules Verne adventure. Great read. Would reccomend it to any fantasy, adventure, horror fiction fan.

Nice, that's a favorite of mine. Year zero by him is almost as good.

Just blew through some teenage fluff series, "The Hunger Games," and before you judge me I only read it because my roommate is going to be working on the set of the movie and he told me it's going to be a big deal (a la harry potter), so I was naturally curious. It's by no means a challenging read, but as far as that genre/target audience goes it's not that bad. Certainly better than that twilight garbage.

Hey I'm reading that now too. My son read it and he's been begging me to read it. In fact, he got rid of all the other books on my nightstand and replaced them with The Hunger Games LOL

after struggling personally the last few years with anxiety/depression I made it a mission to learn more about meaning, evolutional psychology (why we are the way we are), positive psychology (which isn't just positive affirmations, but a slant on Psychology that emphazies "the good things, e.g. happiness", not just psychosis/disorders that fill the DSM-IV), and personal development in general.

being a novice in the above arenas I try to make selections from authors who dedicated their lives in an academic environment, not someone who just picked up on the latest "buzz words" and are just trying to sell books.

I started with Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning" and his concept of logotherapy. I revist that book often.

Amazon.com: Man's Search for Meaning (9780807014271): Viktor E. Frankl: Books

pick,
Try "When Panic Attacks by Dr. David Burns.

Just finished the "Lincoln Lawyer".
Hope the movie is as good as the book.
