Booked Up
I am a big magazine reader. I buy far too many. I horde them for months before finally spending half a day sorting through them, tearing out the pages I want to keep, and filing them away in my Russell+Hazel binders. Books, however, are a completely different matter. I hardly ever make time to read any, except when I'm on vacation.
On the plane ride home on Saturday, I finally finished reading The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game. I loved it. Michael Lewis is so good at weaving a crazy amount of historical/statistical info into the story of left tackle Michael Oher, who makes up the human interest aspect of the book. I really only follow football (pro and collegiate) during this time of year, when the playoffs and bowl games are on. But you don't have to be a fan of football — or even know that much about it — to enjoy Lewis' writing.
