On a serious note, I highly recommend "Playing for Pizza," by John Grisham. It's perfect for any football fan, or lover of Italian culture. It's also eerily appropriate for any Panthers fan right now.

It's about a quarterback who implodes so badly during a game that the only team that will take him is a minor league team in Italy (see what I mean about it being appropriate for Panthers fans?). A great, breezy read. Makes me hungry when I read it.

After reading Tucker Max's "I hope they serve beer in H*ll" and actually enoying, I punished myself by jabbing a spork in my eye socket and will be unable to read books for another 7 months which is when the scabs are supposed to fall off.

Go see the movie, if you like that, you'll have to deafen yourself for the next month.

Enders Game and the Hitchhikers Guide are absolute must reads. I have reread both books many times.

Life of Pi-Yann Martel

Stiff-Mary Roach

Mine-Robert R McCannon

The Stand-Stephen King

and for the women, The Red Tent-Anita Diamont

I am also hopelessly enslaved by The Southren Vampire series, True Bloood, I can help it.

Read Life of Pie - it was one of those boooks that I would typically never have read b/c of the most part I thought it was boring. but after I finished the book I found it was one of the best I ever read!

The best books I ever read are mostly still the classics - Swiss Family Robinson, Treasure Island, Count of Monte Cristo, etc. If you like that stuff along with funkier fare like sci-fi, pick up The Stars My Destination. Amazing and fast paced. Also, if you're a military/history buff like me, you'll enjoy Once an Eagle, by Anton Myrer. Follows the rise of a soldier through the US Army from WWI to Korea.

I can't read

but when I used to, I liked to read books like Ludlum...the Bourne series was good....anyone got anything along those lines that I should read? I need to start again!

Pick up something by Stephen Hunter. Black Light, second Saladin either will do. Bob Lee Swagger is a pure badass

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
