I tried to get it at the library, but it was out. I did get "Alcohol: From Cradle to Grave" which sounds interesting.
I also got an audiobook, "Under the Banner of Heaven" by Jon Krakauer.
It's about a crime committed by Lds (latter day saints) members and is also a look at that church.
I remember that he had some trouble writing it as his research was blocked by the church, which believed, probably rightly, that his would not be a flattering look.
Its been on my list of books to read for a while.
I like his writing. He wrote Into thin air about climbing Mt. Everest, and Missoula, about a college rape.
