Just finished two very good book. First was "The Big Picture" by Edward Jay Epstein about the entertainment industry. Second was "Caucusus: Mountain Men and Holy Warriors" about the Caucus region south of Russia and north of Iran.

Both were fascinating reads for their own reasons. "The Big Picture" is great for anyone who is puzzled by why Hollywood does the wierd things it does, like "why the hell is Tom Cruise dating Katie Holmes even a relevant news story?" Read the book and you'll understand.

"Caucusus" was very interesting because this is a very volatile region of the world that we don't know near enough about. The main areas in the region are Georgia, Chechnya, Albania, Azerbijian, and Dagestan. I picked up this book because I had heard alot about Chechnya as it applies to terrorism and wanted to learn more.

Both are very good.

Enjoy
