I just finished a few books in the last couple days.

Odd Man Out by Matt McCarthy- Interesting book about his time in the minors. A bit Ball-Fourish but not quite as satisfying. I do question him a bit as a narrator in that he seems to avoid all the petty events that everyone else gets involved in but overall, a very good read about an Ivy Leaguer trying to make it in baseball.

The Billion Dollar Game- Tells the story of everything surrounding the Super Bowl and how the league, the sponsors, etc. pull it off. Not a bad read, feels a bit shallow at times, but good.

The Hard Way by Lee Child- It's one of the Jack Reacher novels which, while sort of repetitive, I do enjoy. I thought this was one of the better ones though.

Too Fat to Fish- Just started this so I'll hold off any judgements thus far.
