I have read a small handful of books about fathers and sons, and this one is one of the best. Steve Guttenberg tells the story of him, his wife, his sisters, and his brother-in-law taking their dad to dialysis. Steve drives from California to Arizona to be with them, and shares a lot of stories…

Above the Noise: My Story – by DeMar DeRozan
I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before it’s published. When I saw this book, I was immediately interested as I knew he had played for the San Antonio Spurs for a few years, and being a Spurs fan, I wanted to learn more about his life before, during,…
Furlosophy: Beyond the Mascot: Insights into Life and the NBA – by Rob Wicall
I didn’t even know about this book until Monday morning when a friend of mine from Facebook told me about it. See, I was asking this friend some questions about his time with the San Antonio Spurs and asked if he knew anybody else whom I can ask questions to about there job in the…
You Never Know: A Memoir – by Tom Selleck
You will never know that I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I thought I would. That’s primarily because it’s about Magnum P.I. and I never watched it. I did a have a Magnum P.I. tray for food when I was younger, so I put a lot of stuff on his face and mustache….
Spenser Books – by Robert Parker
I am not doing reviews of the Spenser books because they are similar plots and the outcomes are predictable. Despite that, I still am really enjoying them. I have just completed book 16 of 51! I like Spenser, Hawk, and Spenser’s girlfriend, Dr. Susan Silverman. There are also movies and television shows for Spenser and…
The End of Baseball: A Novel – by Peter Schilling Jr.
I have had this book in a paper format for a long time. And, every time I see it looking at me, I pick it up and can only get through the first few pages. I mean, I do want to read it. So, a few weeks ago, I decided to try again, but this…
Knock! Knock! Knock! On Wood – by Eddie Floyd
I wouldn’t have known who Eddie Floyd was had it not been for my 7 year old son. Let me quickly explain… He likes music as much as I do and somehow, he ended up with a song called Big Bird by Eddie Floyd in his library. He likes the instruments and the song itself….
Mona of the Manor – by Armistead Maupin
When I saw this book as an upcoming release, I immediately threw it in my wishlist and I didn’t care that it was months and month away from being officially published. I had already read the previous 9 books from this series and enjoyed them, especially all the characters. They had diverse backgrounds and sexual…
Darling Girls – by Sally Hepworth
This was my 3rd book in three months from the Book of the Month Club. I will tell you, that my choices are limited as I am predestined for thrillers and memoirs; everything else I can ignore. My only complaint is it seems the club is aimed toward books about females. Where are the manly…
Locker Room Talk: A Woman’s Struggle to Get Inside – by Melissa Ludtke
I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before it’s published. In 1977 at the World Series, Melissa Ludtke, a writer for Sports Illustrated was denied access to the locker rooms by the Commissioner of Baseball, Bowie Kuhn. You mustn’t go in as there may be naked players, but you…
