Last weekend it was a memoir by Doris Kearns-Goodwin: Wait 'til Next Year. It was a nice comfortable read. She told the story of her idyllic childhood in the New York CIty suburbs commingled with her intense love affair with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Her role as a historian is part of her being; she does a wonderful job of placing much of what she experienced as a child in an historical context.
This week is have picked up Baseball - A Literary Anthology. It is perfect for the schedule that presents itself for the next month or so. It is a collection of short stories and articles written by a range of folks from beat writers to literary giants. I can pick it up and enjoy a half hour of so of fun reading before I have to get back to reading transcripts and cases.
Because of its structure, I never have to worry about losing my place. Who knows; it might even help my brief writing.
Regards,
D-Ray
