Yeah it’s well organized. Read Isaacson’s on Franklin and working on McCullough’s John Adams right now and both are good, but just like the way Hamilton was put together. Washington is next.
That does sound good. I also really want to read the Wooden bio by Seth Davis, but I loathe Seth Davis and don't want him to make a penny off me.
Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN Good read, even if it doesn't really talk about why they suck now too much.
Football for a Buck: The Crazy Rise and Crazier Demise of the USFL. I really think they void have lasted had they stayed in the spring for a a few more years.
Re-reading Heinlein's Starship Troopers. It is interesting the amount of debate over a book that is relatively small, and also the amount of influence this book had on science fiction going forward is downright incredible.
In all seriousness, the guy that directed the Starship Troopers movie never read the book. He just knew the character names and that they fought 'bugs' and it was, according to many critics, a book promoting fascism. So, he made a movie to satire what he read the book was about without ever having read the damn thing.
Just imagine all those soldiers wearing giant mech suits. That is one difference between the movie and the book.
