so much reading going on:)

“anne frank remembered” – highly recommendable – to anyone – miep gies’s remembrance of anne – really compelling read

“never ran, never will” – book on a brooklyn district that’s tried to use football to escape poverty – great book – coupled with teaching here, it was interesting

“PTL” – book on jim bakker’s empire from the 1970s and 1980s – compelling book for a kid who grew up in that era – just amazed at what happened and that it was allowed to happen

“presidents and the pastime” – book on baseball and the presidents – they have all loved the game, for the most part – book was written by HW’s speechwriter – but it was a nice, non-bias look at all presidents

“1997 masters: my story” – book by tiger – good reading prior to the masters this year

“the other shulman” – reread of a book from years ago – about the NYC marathon – i remembered lots of parts

“the essential guide to running the NYC marathon” – do you see a pattern in the reading? learned a few new facts from this book

i think that’s about it for now:

so i got into the NYC Marathon for this November – that’s sort of cool…

“pride of the yankees” – always meant to watch this movie – and there was a book written a year ago about the movie too so i watched the movie and then read the book – both were good – the lady at the library, a lady well into her 80s, was impressed with my movie selection:)

“hurricane season” – great book about the houston astros’ season last year – unfortunately, my seventh grade boys had me confused as who won the series last fall – so this book was good in clearing that up:)

“masters of modern soccer” – great book on how soccer has advanced in recent years – what the trends are at the top levels – great book and well prepared me for world cup:)

“movie night with the reagans” – great book about being a press person with Reagan and watching weekly films with him and the First Lady – most every chapter was about a classic 80s film they watched – although, i left the book thinking i should see a Reagan movie myself – I definitely need to see Top Gun

“the New York nobody knows” – sociologist walked 6,000 miles in the city covering every block – but the book isn’t about his walk so much as about the city – it was excellent and i really enjoyed it
