Hoop Crazy by Clair Bee--#6 in the series. You just cannot read these Chip Hilton Books too many times, I have the 23 books on a 4-year rotation. I absolutely hate the reprints however.

Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?, by Steven Tyler

Pretty funny book, some of it interesting, especially where my own life nearly coincided with Aerosmith's early days in Boston. They used to practice in my BU dormitory (West Campus), and knew someone I knew well, but it occurred a year after I left.

"Back Spin" by Harlan Corbin. This is my first time reading any of Corben's books and it appears to be the continuing story of Myron Bolitar...a sports agent who also seems to be a private investigator of sorts. This book is pretty good. It's about a golfer who 20+ years ago lost a huge lead at the US Open and has never been close ever since.He is leading the tournament again after all those years when he finds suddenly finds out that his 15 year old son has been kidnapped. I still have a lot more to read!

I downloaded a copy of the original "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand a couple of weeks ago (Kindle version). I read it about 40 yrs ago in college and really didn't remember it much. Very appropriate theme for todays political environment. The movie doesn't do it justice. Great book.

Have read "Atlas Shrugged" and "The Fountainhead" in the last year. Your dog is no doubt wagging her tail by now. Currently I'm trying to get through "Democracy in America", an increasingly foreign concept. Between chapters I'm picking up "Pursuit of Honor". If Aynnie doesn't like Mitch Rapp, there no tellin' what might happen to her.

Crazy 08 was a good baseball read recently. The most interesting baseball book, however, if you ever played table games with dice, is "The Universal Baseball Association, Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Prop." by Robert Coover.

This post to be submitted for this year's Smile Award.
