NonFiction
Inside the Tattoo Circus: a journey through the modern world of tattoos by Kristian Misser. Tons of color photos illustrating the work of current artists, styles, themes, and more. The lady on the cover looks like author Christa Faust. I emailed Faust and told her that. I'm probably on her ignore list now.
Open: an autobiography by Andre Agassi and [unnamed ghost writer]. Champion tennis player Agassi had a really, really crappy father and hates tennis. So he started doing crystal meth and married a German.
That First Season: how Vince Lombardi took the worst team in the NFL and set it on the path to glory by John Eisenberg. This is Wisconsin, I am required to buy it. You know who else should buy this? The Buffalo Bills.
Avatar: a field guide to Pandora by Maria Wilhelm and Dirk Mathison. "A confidential report on the biological and social history of Pandora." This movie came from a comic book? A video game?
Super Freakonimcs: global cooling, patriotic prostitutes and why suicide bombers should buy life insurance by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. One of those hippies over at Madison Public wrote about this book and openly baited me in the blog title. Sometimes those hippies can be smart, because it worked.
What the Dog Saw: and other adventures by Malcolm Gladwell. Science or something.
Too Big to Fail: the inside story of how Wall Street and Washington fought to save the financial system - and themselves by Andrew Ross Sorkin. Take your blood pressure medication before you start reading.
