My Nightstand's in Kansas

Or somewhere in-between California and New York, along with all our books. Before we left however, I finished reading Bill Clinton's My Life and Gene Wilder's Kiss Me Like A Stranger. My Life was long but worth the extra effort to make it through to the end. At times it felt like a very detailed West Wing episode, and it made me doubly nostalgic - for the days when Aaron Sorkin was still writing for the show and for when President Clinton gave the show inspiration.

Kiss Me Like A Stranger was very heartfelt and touching, but felt a little too "locker room" at times, when Mr. Wilder would list all his conquests. It seemed strange and harsh coming from someone who otherwise seems so compassionate.

The book I'm traveling with now was given to me by our friend Matt, and is somewhat about the area we're moving to (the Catskills) and Jack "Legs" Diamond (a Prohibition Era gangster who lived in that area.) I haven't gotten very far but what I've read is pretty neat. Thanks Matt!
