Dave's Assignments

To Baggs- I give you one of my favorite books of the last couple of years, and while not a book of poetry, certainly a poetically written book.- The Virgin Suicides by Jeffery Eugenides

To James- How can it be that I, and not you, love Teddy Roosevelt? We have to fix that. - The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris

To Alan- The closest thing to a sports book that I will ever get you to enjoy, and also a book that will fit right in with your sense of humor. - Have A Nice Day by Mick Foley

To Joe- First, a book that will help with your "Big Book" theme for this year.- A Fire Upon The Deep by Vernor Vinge

Then, a book that will serve as change of pace for one of your big books, and introduce you to the twisted genius of Chuck Palahniuk- Choke by Chuck Palahniuk

I own physical copies of all of these books, except Baggs's, so I am available to lend them out if needed. Baggs, I might need to buy a copy of Suicides, just to have, so if you need to borrow that, let me know.

Enjoy, brothers.
