I did. The structure is a bit confusing at first and it took me a hundred pages or so to really grok what was going on, but it was definitely worth it.

Most recently, No Apology by Mitt Romney followed by Rediscovering Values by Jim Wallis.

Interestingly enough, despite the fact that their political views are quite dissimilar, the values they profess are very similar. In fact, I think the two of them could watch a baseball game together and have a great discussion about how to bring back values and promote moral behavior.

Speaking of baseball, I am currently reading Game of Shadows about the BALCO scandal and Barry Bonds.

Think I'll pick up the Glory of their Time tomorrow. And hopefully finish the Big Short. Lenin's Tomb will be finished by the start of 2011. I hope.

I had followed up my recent, reawakened interest in dÃ

cadence-literature with Orwell's 'Down and Out in Paris and London' which was quite good and am now in the middle of China MiÃ

ville's newest novel 'Kraken' which is very intriguing and recommendable to all who are interested in fantasy, the occult and myth in general...

Houellebecq's Plateforme, unfortunately the English translation.

What's a good easy read that a 16 year old teenage boy can read and should read some time in his life?

You should also look into Henry Green. This is the opening line of his autobiography:

"I was born a mouthbreather with a silver spoon in 1905, three years after one war and nine before another, too late for both".
