Same book I've been reading since 2005.

"A Portrait of Baseball Photography" - By Fogel, Yee, & Oser.

The writing prompts of 23 7-year-olds. Riveting stuff. I'll post highlights soon.

I recently finished reading "The Last Boy" about Mickey Mantle. I can't say that I was overly impressed with it since I didn't really learn anything new, but I would probably recommend it for someone that's not familiar with his life as it is pretty thorough with a lot of information.

The Politics of Rage: George Wallace and the origins of the New Conservatism, by Dan T. Carter.

A fascinating study of the personality and principles of the Alabama populist who became the most influential "loser" in the history of U.S. politics. Great stuff.

Right now I have two books going- one is massive, over 1000 pages, and it's called " The Spirit of Seventy Six-The Story Of The American Revolution As Told By Participants" edited by Henry Steele Commager and Richard B. Morris.

The other one is called "The Book Of Kells"- an illustrated introduction to the manuscript in Trinity College Dublin, by Bernard Meehan. Beautiful illustrations in this book.

Sincerely, Clayton

Clayton- a question about the first book: how does one interview participants of the American Revolution? Didn't they die quite a while ago?
