I'm about halfway through, and I'm enjoying it. It's quite political though, and contains A LOT of statistics and figures. At times it reads like a research report, but still pretty interesting.

I read Jane Eyre in my college female lit class, and I actually enjoyed it. We also read something by Austen, but for the life of me I can't remember what. Unfortunately work, gym and 3 kids limits my time to read now.

I know what you mean. It's hard to fit it in when my kids are with us. But, when they are with their dad, I read almost non-stop. Especially in summer out by the pool.

Before I rededicated myself to the gym a couple years ago I was reading like crazy, about a book a week. But I've always gone in phases with books, read about 8 in row then stop for a while.

I do the same thing. I will read a whole book in a weekend, but then not read for 4 months. I do that with all my hobbies.

How is that I almst bought it for the plane ride a couple of months ago.

**Alex_L_C** · 07-23-2008, 07:24 PM

I think the title is "Under and Below" or something like that, about a guy who infiltrated a motorcycle gang. I'm taking it with a certain grain of salt since the guy came up trough the ATF before working with the FBI.
