Well that's not fair. If a cat vanishes after someone talks to it, you get like four squares. Five if you count that as supernatural.

I know I have the new Grisham novel rogue lawyer for a present coming up.  Right now I am    re reading "god is not great" by Christopher Hitchens which I highly recommend.  Better than the God dilemma by Richard Dawkins. I will later re read George Knudson and the natural swing.  I finished recently a Steve Berry  Cotton Malone novel which was decent.

SyFy's The Expanse is such a good show, started reading Leviathan Wakes and have Caliban's War and Abbadon's Gate and the rest lined up. The execution is very similar to A Song of Ice and Fire although none of the repetitive stuff like descriptions of boiled leather outfits.

Broke down and started reading Stephen King's 11/22/63. Time travel, revisionist history I'm guessing, hard to turn down.  Dunno what you call both watching on tv and reading a fictional work, but now doing so for two works.

I've got a few pages left of Tim O'Brien's "The Things They Carried." I'd previously read his "In the Lake of the Woods," which is one of the very few books I've ever re-read. But this was the first time I've read TTTC. Really liking it. His style just reads so easily. 

I'm also a few chapters into Shea Serrano's (formerly of Grantland, RIP) "The Rap Yearbook," which is a fun read. 

I wish I read more. I've got a few huge piles of books on one of my end tables. Maybe someday.

I thought that was one of his best books, and I have read quite a few of them.

Just re-read The Green Mile and Full Dark no Stars. Both by King.

Reading Mindset by Carol Dweck. I'm really enjoying it. The book deals with fixed vs growth mindsets, and is pertinent to sports, coaching, teaching, leadership, business and especially raising your kids.

Reread Story of Your Life, Ted Chiang, looks like they're going to expand the scope in the movie. Really looking forward to the movie.

I have been reading the "Richard Sharpe" series by Bernard Cornwell.  Fun reading and I have also learned a little about Napoleon's peninsular war.

Just finished "The Only Rule is it Has to Work," a book by/about two stat heads running an independent league baseball team for a season. Finished it in a day. One of my favorite sports books ever. Awesome read.

Now currently reading a few things. I'm about halfway through "The Bourne Identity" by Robert Ludlum. Always loved the movies but never read the book. The book is ... interesting. I'm 50 pages or so into "The Smartest Guys in the Room" about the Enron crash. And I'm about to start "The Arm" by Jeff Passan about Tommy John surgeries and other arm injuries in baseball.

I like how the movie left out one of the main characters in the book, Carlos.

      So Does Anyone Know Who This Pat Simmons Is?

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By billchao ·

      It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.

      As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
