A rather long tome called 1960. It traces the three primary political players of that year each of whom eventually became president: Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon. The one quote that left me laughing was that they said that LBJ was the only guy they knew that could strut while sitting down.

Recently finished "The Right Stuff" . Tom Wolfe is so capable of writing in such a way that the story is told almost orally. I read the book years ago, but it seemed fresh now. Being of the age to be totally absorbed in the whole astronaut thing it brought back so many memories of the time. Watching the whole thing unfold on TV. I remember listening to hours of a Gemini flight on a transistor radio fishing in a small boat with my Dad one Saturday.

I doubt if anyone of current age would have a clue what that was all about and the magnitude of it at the time. A couple of years ago I had to explain to Beth's 14 yr old daughter who the fxxx Charles Lindbergh was and why he was important. And no, he didn't have a fxxxing GPS.

I finished the other day "American Sniper" . Dang. SEALs are just off the scale! God bless them all.

No, thank YOU, Kroney!

I'm currently reading Paul Auster's "Report from the Interior," one of his many brilliant memoirs. A former homie of mine from South Orange, New Jersey, Auster is one of America's best writers. I highly recommend his "Winter Journal" and "Music of Chance," among so many others.
