"Open" by Andre Agassi

I found Open, the autobiography of Andre Agassi, very interesting.  The relationship with his father is good stuff in the beginning of the book.  That he quit school after 8th grade was something that I did not know.  I enjoyed the part of what he was thinking while playing the matches.  I could have done without the match to match detail.  The best part of this book was finding out that I really didn’t know what made Agassi tick at all!  It’s a bit long but overall it’s a book worth reading. (4 stars)

"The Road" by Cormac McCarthey

This is not a beach book or a chick lit book.  You need to really use your brain on this one.  It's an interesting book about a dad and son going across a land after a major attack with nothing out there and how they survive.  I describe this as a thinking person book.  It goes quick.
