Hey, any of you idiots read!? :D

Never saw a lit thread, so I figure I'd throw this out there. I tend to read a lot more during the summer and I'm always looking for new books so I figured here's a place to discuss them if you like to read.

Previously read:

A conscious entity (it is never explained what, a metaphor for the soul & innocence I guess) is born within a former SS doctor backwards when he dies in America and then lives the man's life backwards to his berth in Germany. A pretty good book if you like historical fiction and can take a Holocaust book written from a strange perspective. The way the entity naively perceives what is going on is pretty funny at times and makes for an interesting narration style.

The true (but told in a fictionalized form) story of a Huey assault pilot in the early days of Vietnam. Pretty damn good, if you enjoy military dramas you'd probably enjoy it. It's very well written, Mason does a great job of making you feel as though you are in the chopper. He spends the first third or so of the book taking you through flight training and explaining flight theory, controls, and maneuvers so that when the action comes you understand exactly what was going on to keep you engaged in the action scenes. At this point his Vietnam, in the early days of the Air Cavalry, 1 in 5 pilots was KIA and a lot of the books deals with the morale of the troops and their experiences in the war. A pretty insightful 1st hand look at Vietnam.

An Old Favorite:

If you never read Ender's Game and like sci-fi, you have to read it.

      The Panthers have an effort problem

      To me, this seems like they feel they aren't going to be competitive. I can't help but go back to Bryce. Good guy, but he doesn't inspire people to give it their all. He isn't a "leader" that people look to. There is no Smith, Delhomme, Kuechly, Cam, etc. coming in that door.  It has to be Bryce, but biologically speaking, how often is the shortest man in the room going to command the kind of respect that will drive people? It just isn't. That isn't how we are wired. That isn't how any living animal on Earth today is wired.  I just follow the science guys.

      Vick's issue with Reid was that he couldn't take a hit, and he wouldn't go down. Otherwise he was pretty good much of the time.  Mahomes has a system that works. Mahomes doesn't become Mahomes elsewhere because not everyone can extract 125% of the ability of a specific player like Reid can. Kevin O'Connell is beginning to look like he has that ability as well but I'll need to see how he does with his Redshirt Freshman.  I also wonder how much of their playoff issue last year was related to the offense as a whole and not just Darnold. Fans don't really dive into the "why" things happen, they just see the what and complain about it.
