(BTW, books 1 & 2 of the Series of Unfortunate Events finally came out in paperback today. Book 3 is due in September.)

Originally Posted By seanyoda I just finished reading Sarah Vowell's "Take the Cannoli : Stories From the New World" and have started Bill Veeck and Ed Linn's "Veeck--As In Wreck: The Autobiography of Bill Veeck" Already I've added a new quote to my list of favorites: "Let me make it clear that I don't want this to be taken as a blanket indictment of all Evil Eyes. Most Evil Eyes, I'm sure, are honest, tax-paying, respectable citizens. It's only that rotten 3 percent who don't give you an honest day's work for an honest day's pay who give the whole profession a bad name."

Funny, funny stuff, with the occasional very poignant moment or observation mixed in.

Originally Posted By Tinkerbell819 Wow! That's exciting DisneyMom! You'll have to let us know when it's published so we can read it!

Already it's going much faster and I'm enjoying it more and I just started it.

Starts a little bit before he civil war and gives a good overview with some detail of integration, segregation and the eventual breaking of the color berriar.
