Review — Big Game

This is the first thing I’ve read from Mark Leibovich and I probably won’t be reading anything else of his. ‘Big Game’ came off as New England elitist, scatter brained and arrogant. It has been by far one of the more disappointing sports books I’ve read in a while. Truth…

Review — Alpha

‘Alpha’ is the story of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher. You know, the one accused of murdering an ISIS prisoner in Iraq and was later acquitted when another SEAL took the stand and said he did it while having immunity. The book was written by David Philipps from the New York…

Review — The Comeback

Greg LeMond is the only American to ever win the Tour de France (those Armstrong and Landis fellows had their wins stripped). In fact he won it three times and one of those is still the closes finish in the history of the Tour. ‘The Comeback’ is his story and…

Review — Lights Out

‘Lights Out: Pride, Delusion, and the Fall of General Electric’ is a good business book read. In fact it probably should be on a list for any MBA program. The book was written by Thomas Gryta and Ted Mann. …

Review — How to Win Friends & Influence People

*Please note, I had to speed read this for a class. Dale Carnegie’s book ‘How to Win Friends & Influence People’ still holds up even though it was originally published nearly 90 years ago. The reason for that is that a good portion of the principles are timeless. …

Review — The Long Haul

Review — Chip War

‘Chip War’ by Chris Miller won the prestigious Financial Times Business Book of the year in 2022. When a book wins that award, I try to read it sooner rather than later. Boy I gotta tell that I thought this book lacked a whole lot. Miller’s book reads like a…

Review — The Space Barons

Never read any of Christian Davenport of The Washington Post’s stuff before. ‘The Space Barons’ may change that. His 2018 book was insightful, interesting and certainly made me want to follow Space X, Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic even more closely than I was before. Davenport’s book does a good…
