pickA must for any man or boy!
From the perspective of a man living in the Western world, I recognize that initiation rites into maturity (for males and females) are essentially non-existent. Society has forfeited its role to government and the result has been none to kind. We do not have mentors, there is no great wisdom being passed down from one generation to another, but thankfully we do have a few select books that can at least point the way.
pickThis is a tenderly funny look at a bunch of middle aged men who gather each year to reenact the football game where Joe Theismann‘s thigh was snapped. Bachelder did a great job of giving each man a distinct personality in a very short space. I rarely read a book that gives a group of men such emotional depth. #roll100
Note: You can never fool a woman. They‘re just way too smart and plus, they have 5 sensors in their heads whereas men only have 3 (the kinds used to detect lies and read voice and facial modulations). Go figure.

pickYes. To summarize the book in one quote, "....but in the heart of every man is a desperate desire for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue." I couldn't agree more. This is my second time through this book. It hit home this time through in ways it didn't the first time. Men, read this.
I've read this before. I think it will be different this time. Real men are needed at this point in history. Men with character and heart.
bailedBindi is hiding her head because I told her this author asserts on page 20 that rapes have decreased tremendously recently, particularly acquaintance rape. Given that rape is hugely underreported, I have no idea why she feels this is a reasonable thing to say. And now I‘m all done with this book.
