Book 10 of 2022 - sightseeing by Rattawut Lapcharoensap - not sure what I expected, but it was both different and amazing. A collection of 7 remarkable first person stories about survival that at times inspires, and other times calls for a bottle of whiskey. Highly recommend. https://t.co/KjS7myEAul

Reading @siddharthkara masterpiece “Cobalt Red” and I keep thinking about this line. It’s remarkable how badly the western world has failed — and continues to fail the DRC. https://t.co/gLU4XmoLKr

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me… https://t.co/EahVfveMRm

First semester senior year at Sewanee I took two book-a-week courses. One week, reading load was 1100+ pages, including Jean Jacques Rousseau’s 700 page “Confessions” Get to class - prof goes on tangent…book never came up in that class - or any later class. But I’ve read it! https://t.co/uOvg0DMIvP

If you play golf, watch golf, or just enjoy great storytelling, pick up Michael Bamberger’s Men in Green. Wonderful story about the game told through the interwoven lives of those who made it what it is today Minor golf need trauma alert: A lot of 2009 British Open content… https://t.co/HtE2BdnlfM

Book 7: Michael Bamberger’s The Ball in the Air is a wonderful story of 3 people, including my friend Ryan (@acaseofthegolf1) for whom golf, at various times, proved to be their salvation. Really proud of Ryan for his bravery to talk about mental health. https://t.co/007Zeb1mmZ

Book 6 - @candice_millard Hero of the Empire. For my money, there isn’t a better historical storyteller these days than Millard, and Hero of the Empire doesn’t disappoint. Not only is this story amazing, it paints a picture of who Churchill becomes. Phenomenal read. https://t.co/0YcL93UWNm

Book 22 of 2022z. I adore @Lis_Smith - and even more after I read her book, Any Given Tuesday. The book is honest, smart, and witty - just like Lis herself. Whether you are a hack, a wannabe hack, or just enjoy the game, you’ll love her book. https://t.co/4nNPVY9TQB

@acaseofthegolf2 @markbaldwin1 @MaMondayQInfo Mark sent me Harlem Shakes. It’s a phenomenal read. Sick Puppy is hilarious political novel about Florida. No Good Among The Living is a wonderful book about Afghanistan, as is Places in Between I love Paul Theroux’s travelogues - Dark Star Safari is a good place to start
