Wonderful books that might have been great were they shorter:
-- "Shut Out", by Howard Bryant - Second half reads like butter. First half not so much, though still essential Red Sox reading.
-- "I am Charlotte Simmons", by Tom Wolfe -- Mr. Wolfe caught a lot of flak for writing about a fictional character six decades younger and of a different gender than he, but #404 really had a good time with this one. Maybe a hundred pages too much, but well worth the trip.
-- "Oh the Glory of it All", by Sean Wilsey -- Please, please be more "The Glass Castle" than "Running with Scissors" or "The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things."
-- "The Naked and the Dead", by Norman Mailer -- Actually, now that we think about it, it really wasn't overlong. Makes sense that descriptions of those jungle marches were nearly unbearable in length. Ok, scratch that one.

Eagles -- 9W- 6L but no Donovan.
