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.

Currently Reading:

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.

      100%. He's a serviceable starter but not a shut down CB by any means. Not too bad for $5.25M /year.

      It is like he just can’t be bothered with that stuff.    But seriously, rebuilding your entire physical operating procedure is so difficult that very few can do it. You have to get it in you so deep that you don’t think about it. Most people fall back to their comfort zone at the biggest moments. Because it worked for them up until ‘now’ and they don’t have to think about it.  You would think people would know this but here we are.  His so obviously wack unorthodox mechanics screamed to me that a rebuild would be necessary and that the single biggest reason I was so opposed to taking him.  It plays out all the time. He is in and out of what Canales tried to train him to do. That’s what the emphasis on 1 2 3 plant throw was about last offseason, as much as it was about getting the ball out quicker. But it is all connected.  You just can’t get the ball out that fast with his old routine, slows you down.
