"Sooley" by John Grisham. Fiction. Great basketball story.

One of my basic approaches in life is this...if someone suggests a book to me, I buy it and read it.

It typically pays off, but not always. I'm currently reading David Deutsch's The Beginning of Infinity (why can't I italicize text here? Gah. Anyway...) on the recommendation of one of my young coworkers in the ER who said it was fantastic and it changed his life. I'm half way through and it's fucking horrible so far, but I'm gonna finish it in case there is something worthwhile hidden inside its pages. Within that book, Deutsch recommends a sci-fi book called [italics] Dragon's Egg [/italics] by Robert Forward, so it's on the list, but I'm moving Study Hall ahead of that since I don't trust fiction recommendations lol. And now WarPlanner's rec is on the list, even as a hardback because it looks like the kind of stuff I love to study. This batch should cover the next month or so.

I'm looking forward to you continuing this series, DD!
