Finished the Alicia Keys book and now need something that isn't so deep. The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. It will be cheesy I'm sure but I'm here for it.

Cool, might give it a shot then.  :thumbup:

Started Fahrenheit 451, pretty sure I've read it before but I can't remember so it must have been a fair while ago.

The Keith Richards bio....a pretty good read.  He doesn't sugarcoat a damn thing, which I find refreshing.

For the severalth time,  "Fountainhead,"  by Ayn Rand.
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.
