I finished "Carter Beats the Devil" by Glen David Gold. It was a really good book. It's about a magician, President Harding, a lion, a Secret Service agent and the invention of television. It's a fictionalized account of what have could have happened to President Harding amongst the story of Carter the Great, the magician. Pretty good stuff.
I also finished reading "The Inheritance of Loss" by Kiran Desai. It was good, but a pretty depressing story. I can see why it's won some awards, as it's very realistic and this is what really happens to people. I think I'd rather read books which are a little more upbeat though. I've now switched to some sci-fi to get away from all other books for a bit. I'm reading "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch" by Philip K. Dick. Much better.
I went to Atlanta for Thanksgiving. It was a lot of fun. Can you believe there were 17 of us sitting down to dinner? I can't believe there were so many. It was a lot of fun. We went to a different house for dessert, which sounds a bit retarded, but was actually a great idea as everyone woke up and seemed to meet more people because of the different location. Probably because of the coffee and sugar too. That seems to wake people up also. But it was fun.
I got to visit the Aquarium in Atlanta. It's a relatively new aquarium & it's huge. The biggest in North America. It was so cool. There is a tunnel that you walk through and have all the fish and sharks swimming around you - pretty damn awesome. I highly recommend it, if you're ever in Atlanta.
Tahoe in about a week. I can't wait.
