I kept going back to the scene in the jail, when Junior finally loses it & confronts Barbara. Great stuff

I read that Speilberg is producing this as an HBO mini-series.

I will let you know, and lend it to you if you like, Son.

I also bought the Keith Richards autobiography to read next.

that might be cool, there is certainly enough material to draw from
probably better for hbo to do it than many others, I think the chances for it getting turned into something cheesy would be high (think remake of the shining with the guy from wings)

If it's by McGinty, I read it last year. I thought it was a good read.

Still working on Jailbird but I also started Freakonomics today. I have to review a book for my actuary class so I chose Freakonomics since it was already on my book list.
