Yes, I have THREE books to recommend.  It is amazing how much reading you can get done with you spend 8 hours a day with a baby attached to your boob and not much else to do other than read or watch tv.  So these are the books I've read in the last 3 and a half weeks:

Charlie Wilson's War by George Crile:  My father has been recommending this book to me for months now, saying it is the wildest, most amazing story.  And it's all true.  I got it for Christmas and was finally able to read it once Stella was born.  It is the story of Charlie Wilson, a US Congressman from East Texas who basically single-handedly gets the US neck deep into the Afghanistan-Soviet War of the 80's.  It is fascinating.  I feel like I can't even explain it well enough to do it justice, you'll just have to read it for yourself.  It's full of colorful characters, ranging from a River Oaks' socialite who becomes obsessed with the plight of the Afghani mujadeen and becomes an "Unofficial Ambassador" for the Pakistani president, to a middle-aged Fort Worth Belly Dancer, who dances for the Pakanstani president, at a gathering where the mere prescence of women is banned, much less the sexually suggestive gyrations of one that is nearly nude.  Really, go see it, before Tom Hanks turns it into a movie and ruins it (really it's his next after The DaVinci Code!)

A Long WAy Down by Nick Hornby:  The story of 4 people who converge on a famous suicide location in London on New Year's Eve, and forge an unlikely friendship.  The story is told from the perspective of each of the 4, alternating chapters, and it's very interesting and engrossing.  You'll find yourself really feeling their plight, despite the fact that most of them are completely assholes.  Great book that doesn't choose easy answers or easy endings.  Very realistic about life. 

The House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus:  Wow, this is one of the most amazing, best books I have ever read.  It is a train wreck of passionate, misguided people who come together because of their mutual desire for a single house in the California hills.  What their selfishness and obsession leads them to do is horrifying.  The story is also told from each one's point of view, alternating chapters, and it's hard to find a protagonist, or a villian.  Will keep you turning pages to the end, even as a sick feeling rises in your stomach. 

Now the question is just:  what do I read next?!
