i’m done reading – it’s time to be brain dead and watch people run… 🙂

i read four books this week – i’ll be brief on two and take more time with what i enjoyed

“the writer’s journey” – motifs in movies – and how this “genius” movie guy figured them out

“the book” – baseball stats that prove traditional theory wrong – like, never bunt (or not usually) – and bat your pitcher eighth

“imperfect” by jim abbott – this book was awesome – very recommendable for a middle school kid – gifted – disabled – guy – girl – sports or no – just great (we’re journalling next week about it) – anyway, abbott writes about the issues we all face in life – who are we – what will we be known for – and he’s pretty good at helping us along that trail – again, great book

“the big miss: my years coaching tiger woods” by hank haney – i liked this book b/c it talked about how you coach a gifted athlete – a driven athlete – good insight into tiger’s world – haney obviously wrote it to protect his rep (you can tell criticism gets under his skin) but the whole issue of trying to figure out tiger made the book an easy read for me

reading cs lewis’s sci-fi series right now while i wait for something new – hope your journals and reading is fun this week
