Where did you think he was lacking?
I recently read Measuring The World, which was an absolute delight:
I’m in a rereading mode because I haven’t got time to browse. As soon as my work project is out the door, I’m going shopping for more.
March thread is up, hoping for warm weather but not to fast for the Northeast, no need to have Boston float away
March Thread: Spring is here! Spring is here! Life is skittles and life is beer
I have no idea why, other than that OneClickDigital had the ebook immediately available, but I’m rereading Dominick Dunne’s novelization of the O.J. Simpson trial, Another City, Not My Own. It’s almost as much dishy fun this time as it was when I read it 20 years ago. Faye Resnick, Barry Scheck, Christopher Darden, Paula Barbiari, Kato Kaelin, Carl Whosits, Marcus Whatsis. I wonder what happened to all those people? Well, the ones who are still alive and not in prison.
Just finished John Grisham’s Playing for Pizza, about a Cleveland Browns third-string quarterback who has an absolutely terrible last NFL game, and ends up playing in the American-style football league in Parma, Italy. It’s light-hearted and funny, and as someone who doesn’t like football all that much, I found it surprisingly engaging. Not at all typical Grisham fare (as with The Broker, you can see he put an Italian vacation to good use), but worth a read.
I’m also about halfway through **Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual **by Lee Brimmicombe-Wood, a nice tie-in to the second Alien movie (although in an annoying Courier font and with occasionally-amateurish illustrations).
Another yowsah! for Playing for Pizza. I was very pleasantly surprised to find Grisham capable of anything but a legal whodunnit.
Yup. And it sure made me hungry - all that discussion of Italian food and wine. Yum!
