Winning Fixes Everything: How Baseball's Brightest Minds Created Sports' Biggest Mess
Evan DrellichVince Keenan#FridayReads Evan Drellich's WINNING FIXES EVERYTHING is an engrossing book that is only intensifying my loathing of: a) the Houston Astros and the culture created by its ownership; b) McKinsey; c) the ongoing financialization of all aspects of public life. https://t.co/9VGZ0NKpPU

Out of Sight
Elmore LeonardVince KeenanIt's no accident that the best Elmore Leonard adaptation - OUT OF SIGHT (1998) - was directed by Steven Soderbergh, whose films have a loose, hang-out vibe.

Ginger Beer
Mark DookeranVince KeenanThis is so horrible. I knew Rachel Marshall only by reputation, but Rachel's Ginger Beer is one of Seattle's glories. To read about what she was suffering through since 2020 is crushing. My thoughts are with all who loved her. https://t.co/RMtc1XpBdW via @chsfeed

Mick HerronVince Keenan"All those decades of the arms race, and it turned out there was no greater damage you could inflict on a state than ensure it was led by an idiot. Somewhere, someone, probably, was laughing." BAD ACTORS, Mick Herron #FridayReads

Everybody Knows
Jordan HarperVince KeenanGot an early look at a front-runner for best novel of 2023: @jordan_harper's EVERYBODY KNOWS. A big, brilliant, bruiser of a Hollywood crime story, about money, power, secrets, and the compromises we make. I consumed this book in raw, bloody chunks and loved it. #FridayReads https://t.co/om6gS6UIkM
