I normally don't read novels of this genre, but I've been seeing it on the shelves for a while and was curious. Some people have suggested it to me, and now there's even a movie, so I thought I'd finally give it a try. Of course I'm going to finish the book before seeing the movie.

Ninety eight pages in, and I actually like it so far. Even if I'm not all that familiar with some of the legal dialogue, I still get the plot and the characters. What's really funny is that one of the people who recommended the book said it made it "easier to read if you imagine the lead character as Matthew McConaughey". It does help...

In less than 3 weeks Megan and I will be in Mexico, so we figured this little book might come in handy. I had to turn the book away from the camera a bit so the flash wouldn't wash out the shiny cover...

I started reading my first book of 2011 last night and continued reading for a little while this morning. When I set the book down to get a snack, a sunbeam just happened to be dancing across my coffee table and I ended up with this cool photo...

No editing here. I just turned the flash off before I took the picture. As for the book itself, I really like it so far. I've always been a bit of a history buff, and of course a ship buff, so this book quenches my thirst for knowledge on both subjects! I actually bought the book with a bunch of others about two years ago and for some reason I read all the others but forgot about this one. I just ended up getting more books and reading them. Has that ever happened to you?

Today (Jan 3rd) is my lovely wife Megan's Birthday and, after a very long search, I finally found a copy of the book she really wanted...

This wasn't the only gift I gave her. I also bought her a DVD, a big slice of carrot cake, and a funny card, but this book was the one thing she really kept mentioning over the past few weeks. The problem was that it is very popular and was sold out everywhere, or so she was told. I wasn't convinced, so I went on a quest and looked through every bookstore in town and finally found what I'm pretty sure was the last available copy in Victoria. I now have a very happy wife!

Happy Birthday, Megan!

I love getting new books! This time, some humorous light reading...
