Manhunt
Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killers
I picked up this book the other day and it is AWESOME! Granted, I love reading about US History and particularly this era. But it's written in such a way that it's almost like a thriller happening in real time, with journal accounts from that era. Definitely a good read, in my opinion. Anyone else got any good books they're reading?

Re: Manhunt
no, but one of my favorite books, Stephen Hunter's Point of Impact was made into a movie called shooter... and Im not a big fan of dirk diggler, the story was great. I haven't read it since about 1995, so it may be a bit cheesier than I remember, but I really liked it...

I haven't had a chance... I usually don't go to the movies, and I couldn't get my wife to go with me, especially to see that one. I'll probably end up at a hotel in a month or two and order it on the ppv systems they have that let you watch movies before they're released on video

Re: Manhunt
How was Kate Mara in it? She's pretty fine...even though she's part of the NY Giants family
