  2. On Apr 28 2009 Tom Copeland (USCG) read The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and commented:

    This was a brutal book - towards the end of it I found myself turning pages hoping to find something good happening to the protagonist. It's definitely worth a reading, if only for understanding how terrible the Taliban have treated the people of Afghanistan.

  3. On Apr 26 2009 Tom Copeland (USCG) read Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis and commented:

    One of the players mentioned in this book is Nick Swisher, who now plays for the Yankees. I'm a big Yankees fan so it's interesting to look at Swisher's stats with this book in mind. For example, Swisher hasn't been hitting so well (June/July 2009), but he's still got a high OBP due to all the walks he gets. One thing Michael Lewis does well is relate the baseball chatter around the clubhouse and between the manager and scouts. It really rang true for me; it reminded me (on a much lower level) of the comments made by my college manager and pitching coach.
