so i’ve been reading lately…

“i am” by brian wilson – famed beach boy – good book – another one i could share with my father – lots of summer memories singing beach boys songs growing up – combined with the mike love book from last year that i read, there’s lots to compare between the two – there’s also a lot of beach boys in the 1970s i apparently missed – sunflower being one – caroline, no being one – i really enjoyed the book

“the red bandanna” – very quick read – espn did a piece on the topic a few years ago – it’s show annually now – basically, just a remarkable story about a 24 year old who still lives on for his heroism – he was a year older than i was when the towers were hit – it made me sad to read about his parents still grieving b/c i pictured mine doing the same

“romeo and/or juliet” by north – great concept – a choose your own adventure book based on romeo and juliet – there was a path that shakespeare followed – there was a comical midsummer night’s drift that i want to read for my eighth grade – mature audience definitely for the whole book – but cute for those adults who’ve read shakespeare

“catalyst: rogue one” – my first star wars book – probably my last – i really enjoyed the movie – but the book – a prequel to the movie – wasn’t great – wordy – tom swiftlys abounded as well
