Something To Talk About
So here's the idea. To pass the time until football season starts up again, The Blue Devil (or is that Winifred?) suggested a summer book club. In deference to my obsession with baseball, I suggested "Castro's Curveball" by Tim Wendel as a starting point. What do youse guys think?

Thanks, Bets!
I'm in. I've ordered the book from half.com (still more copies on offer there, folks) and should have it by the end of the week.
Here's to a great summer of reading!
Betsy, the thing is that the MLS season means that for Bob and me, football's year-round. It's only footie snobs like Davey that pass on the domestic offering.
But this nevertheless is a great idea. I've just checked my library and it's available. Should also have it by Friday or so.
Thanks. Steve
Stum, brother!
Karen still thinks that I'm doing "odd jobs" and "research" during the off season.
Good news, though. "Castro's Curveball" was in the mailbox when I got home today. I'll let Bivalve take the lead on the reading group but I'm all set to go.
I'm having the missus check the local library
Oddly, last night I was at B&N with Eric and looking through the mystery section for a father's day prezzie, and found this book misfiled by subject. Strange coincidence I thought.
Looks like we have a quorum. All we need now is our Scotia contingent on board. Come on, Dave. Put down the plagiarized Doris Kearns Goodwin "histories" for one summer and join us, eh?
