I am currently ludicrously behind on my reading list. I’m in the middle of six different tomes and there are another ten or twelve waiting next to the bed. The LA Times Festival of Books was probably not the best way to make any progress. I bought:
- Red Lobster, White Trash, and the Blue Lagoon: Joe Queenan’s America, by Joe Queenan
- Outtakes, by Dan Patrick
- The Kennedy Men: 1901-1963, by Laurence Leamer
- The Lighthouse Stevensons : The Extraordinary Story of the Building of the Scottish Lighthouses by the Ancestors of Robert Louis Stevenson, by Bella Bathurst
- A Civil War: Army Vs. Navy a Year Inside College Football’s Purest Rivalry, by John Feinstein
- Five Against One: The Pearl Jam Story, by Kim Neely
- The Best American Sports Writing 1997 and The Best American Sports Writing 1998
