Hey, any of you idiots read!? :D

Never saw a lit thread, so I figure I'd throw this out there. I tend to read a lot more during the summer and I'm always looking for new books so I figured here's a place to discuss them if you like to read.

Previously read:

A conscious entity (it is never explained what, a metaphor for the soul & innocence I guess) is born within a former SS doctor backwards when he dies in America and then lives the man's life backwards to his berth in Germany. A pretty good book if you like historical fiction and can take a Holocaust book written from a strange perspective. The way the entity naively perceives what is going on is pretty funny at times and makes for an interesting narration style.

Currently Reading:

The true (but told in a fictionalized form) story of a Huey assault pilot in the early days of Vietnam. Pretty damn good, if you enjoy military dramas you'd probably enjoy it. It's very well written, Mason does a great job of making you feel as though you are in the chopper. He spends the first third or so of the book taking you through flight training and explaining flight theory, controls, and maneuvers so that when the action comes you understand exactly what was going on to keep you engaged in the action scenes. At this point his Vietnam, in the early days of the Air Cavalry, 1 in 5 pilots was KIA and a lot of the books deals with the morale of the troops and their experiences in the war. A pretty insightful 1st hand look at Vietnam.

An Old Favorite:

If you never read Ender's Game and like sci-fi, you have to read it.

      Yes. Cade 100% tripped and pitched it to Mafah.  That’s not in dispute.  We agree on that.  Mafah got the ball, fell to the ground and then attempted to complete the rest of the play….which was the lateral to the WR on the end around.  You are calling the lateral from Mafah to the end around WR the ball popping up.   It was whistled dead.   Then they ran another play.  the review then awarded the ball to SC after we ran another play for what happened after a play was whistled dead.   How does that part work lol?  How do you recover a ball if a play was whistled dead for a downed player prior to a recovery?  I think the refs screwed Clemson twice.   That’s not why they lost.  Please don’t think that is my argument.   They lost because Cade chocked and panicked at the end.  They lost because Sellers should have been put on the ground for a loss countless times and they didn’t.  They lost because our over loyal Dabo wouldn’t bench his favorite hurt RB.    Clemson lost for lots of reasons. SC deserved to win.  Those calls were bad though IMO.  They exist in every game.

      I can’t recall an NBA team with this many injuries.  It’s getting absurd at this point
