greetings!!!

“diamond ruby” – high school BOB – finished this morning – historical fiction from the 1920s in new york – a female pitcher who tries to protect those she loves – with a little help from babe ruth and jack dempsey – the book was dark for two hundred pages – the last 230 were much lighter – rather usual turn

“why read moby dick” – by nat philbrick – good book not just about a rather contraversial subject (most people, including myself, find “moby dick” very long about whaling and thus not so very good) but also about why we love books – what makes them great to us – to hear a book from an author i respect about why loves a book… great concept – enjoyable read – made me even appreciate melville even more

“the big dance” – book about the ncaa tournament – its history – definitely gets you read for hoops season (not that the NBA or the alabama offense couldn’t do the same thing:) – discovered plenty i didn’t know – lots i did so it wasn’t ground-breakingly new – or maybe i know more about college basketball than i let on:)

one high school BOB to go – happy…
