Bill Walsh - Finding the Winning Edge. Although he was one of the greatest football coaches ever, its not just about football. Great info on developing an organization and dealing with highly competitive adversaries.
The only downside is since his passing, copies of the book have gone through the roof. My copy is just a poor library version, sigh....

"over 50" in the men's room at work, a bottle of head and shoulders shampoo in my bathroom at home, a bicisport from january 2001 in the garage, the 1986 edition of the great soviet encyclopedia letter "s" in my living room, the latest new yorker in my bed room and "transforming the heurmeneutic context" when i'm in the computer/dining room thing.

As usual, I've got three or four things going at once that have nothing at all to do with each other:
Just finished The Zen of Fish - all about sushi, and sushi restaurants - a really good read. Currently: The Regan Diaries Queen Isabella - about Isabella and Edward II in 14th century England - wild times...no really, she's raising an army in France to depose the king The Black Swan Cheers! R

Readers who have cited McCarthy might also want to look at the novels of Jim Harrison. His latest, Returning to Earth: A Novel, is now out in paper. Although I haven't read it yet I've liked everthing else by him I have read.
Recently my reading has included: Gravity's Rainbow (Thomas Pynchon) The Road (Cormac McCarthy) The Complete Poetry (Cesar Vallejo) The Word That Causes Death's Defeat (Anna Akhmatova)
