Do you even read? :X I'm reading Homicide by David Simon. It is awesome. Amazon.com This 1992 Edgar Award winner for best fact crime is nothing short of a classic. David Simon, a police reporter for the Baltimore Sun, spent the year 1988 with three homicide squads, accompanying them through all the grim and grisly moments of their work--from first telephone call to final piece of paperwork. The picture that emerges through a masterful accumulation of details is that homicide detectives are a rare breed who seem to thrive on coffee, cigarettes, and persistence, through an endlessly exhausting parade of murder scenes. As the Washington Post writes, "We seem to have an insatiable appetite for police stories.... David Simon's entry is far and away the best, the most readable, the most reliable and relentless of them all.... An eye for the scenes of slaughter and pursuit and an ear for the cadences of cop talk, both business and banter, lend Simon's account the fascination that truth often has." From Publishers Weekly Baltimore Sun reporter Simon spent a year tracking the homicide unit of his city's police, following the officers from crime scenes to interrogations to hospital emergency rooms. With empathy, psychological nuance, racy verbatim dialogue and razor-sharp prose, he offers a rare insider's look at the detective's tension-wracked world. Presiding over a score of sleuths is commander Gary D'Addario, "connoisseur of survival" who grapples with political intrigue, massive red tape and "red balls" (major, difficult cases). His detectives include Tom Pelligrini, obsessed with solving the rape-murder of an 11-year-old girl; Rich Garvey, whose "perfect year" is upset by a murder case that collapses in court; and black, cosmopolitan Harry Edgerton, a lone wolf, son of a jazz pianist. This hectic daily log reveals the detective's beat on Baltimore's mean streets (234 murders in 1988) to be brutal, bureaucratic and, occasionally, mundane.

Well tbh I'm not reading any novels or such. I'm reading How Computers Work by: Ron White. It is pretty interesting to figure out how and what each and everything is in a comp. It also talks about games, graphics, and modeling so that is also an interesting part.
too busy for anything right now...9 weks exams, projects, semester exams (the 1 im not exempt from, pre-calc)...im sure that once im done with this week, i'll get to something, but for now it's the sports section in the sentinel, sports illustrated, magic magazin, etc
The Last Dance by John Feinstein. It talks all about the Final Four throughout the years and gives a good look at all the coaches and players who became legends because of their performances in the Big Dance. It's a pretty good read if you're interested in that kind of thing.
<div class="quote_poster">Chuck Wrote</div><div class="quote_post"> I imagined Ron White, the horrible redneck comedian, writing a book on computers.</div> That was my first thought too. I don't really read unless I have to for class(and even then it's hard for me to read)
