Books! I love 'em, but rarely have/find the time to read them. I finally finished Mark Steyn's Head to Toe, which had been sitting on my night stand for QUITE... SOME... TIME. I love Steyn, don't so much like his books made up of old random columns, only because the theme tends to get lost.

This week the University of Michigan Press offered me a free read, so I gladly obliged. The book is called "Private Guns, Public Health" by David Hemenway.

My first reaction was obvious: here's another ivory tower university professor type telling us a lot of reasons to ban guns. But apparently, it's not so.

I have yet to have a chance to open the book, but while 'about the town' tonight, I actually heard from some other people who'd read the book. It seemed that no matter their political disposition, the reader had enjoyed the book, and most agreed with Hemenway's ideas.

So, my aim is to finish reading this book in two weeks (thats a high bar for me). I will review the book upon completion. And I will also be doing up a review of Mark Steyn's "From Head to Toe". Book Reviews... I hated them in high school, and now I'm doing them for fun! Who'da thunk it?
