I read all the time in the nice weather months. I sit on my deck, smoke cigars and read. It's kind of my quiet relaxation thing.

I watched the movie and realized it probably wouldn't ruin the book considering the author (Tom Wolfe), but I still never read it.
Neil Armstrong passing and watching some old moon mission stuff on the SCI channel, made me finally start it. Excellent so far!
