Newt's smart enough not to ... (Below threshold)1. Posted by bryanD | March 26, 2007 12:46 PM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
Newt's smart enough not to go overboard trying to impress us, cause these books are/were all front-of -the -store titles (Popular). Have to admire his honesty (when it comes up for air).
The Remini book is very good and is worth buying, the rest were probably freebies (nothing wrong with that!)

I guess he already finished the blockbuster NYT best seller "How to Cheat On Your Wife and then Leave Her When She Has Cancer for Your Mistress."
Moneyball is a great book though - made me almost like baseball.

You know what's on my reading list? The sequel to "1945" that was specifically promised to me at the end of that book.
Newt has some splainin to do.
Although I really look forward to Newt saying, "Rudy you magnificent bastard. I read your book!"

I get it. Patton read Rommel's book on Tank warfare tactics and used this info to counter Rommel's tactics. Patton exulted in his victory: "Rommel you magnificent bastard. I read your book."
