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

I never thought I would pick up a book written by a truck driver but hey, you never know right? ‘The Long Haul’ is written by Finn Murphy or ‘The Great White Mover’ as he is know at one point. He is one of those folks who comes into your…

Review — Football For A Buck

Jeff Pearlman has written a bunch of sports books but this is the first one of his that I have read. ‘Football For A Buck’ is about the original USFL back in the 80’s. The OG of spring football leagues that shot itself in the foot by trying to switch…

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…

Review — Never Settle

Marty Smith’s book ‘Never Settle’, as he states in the beginning, isn’t a memoir. It did come out several years ago but the stories are pretty timeless and it makes for a quick, entertaining read over a holiday or a long weekend. Smith was ESPN’s NASCAR insider when they had…

Review — Blood & Oil

I read a book a few years back called ‘Billion Dollar Whale’ written by Bradley Hope with Tom Wright and it really impressed me. Hope followed it up with a book written with Justin Scheck published in 2020 called ‘Blood and Oil’. This wasn’t as good as Hope’s previous one…
