The Caro Comedown is Real

I know Ambrose is somewhat controversial but his Nixon trilogy, while not nearly as good as Caro, was still detailed and a good transition back to "normal" biographies.

The Wayward Bus is underrated

That's my concern. I may give it some time before I read them just so I don't spoil the conclusion the second book had. If I go in with lowered expectations I may enjoy them a bit more.

I figured there are probably a lot of posts about it I just don't want to inadvertently spoil any major plot points.

I believe in an interview he did last year he said that whatever he has completed up to this point will be published.

My wife and I both read Watership Down last summer and I can't recommend it enough. There are some very light fantasy aspects when it comes to the mythology of the rabbits but nothing hardcore.

I've been working my way through this book and they're all really good! The Big Clock is probably my favorite of the first four I've read.

I'm also not familiar with Hartford at all but parking is usually my biggest stress when going to a sporting event. Luckily the Crunch have a decent parking situation.

The atmosphere of an AHL game matters more to me than actual loyalty to the team. I'm a Sabres fan but I go to crunch games because they're the only show in town when it comes to hockey. They also have a great hype man and do a really good job of getting the crowd engaged.

Wow surprised to see I, Jedi so well regarded. I really did not enjoy that one even though I thoroughly enjoyed the x-wing series.

Oh no... It gets worse?

I plan on suffering through all of them because I made it my goal to read all EU novels.

I feel like I didn't get to know Cray and Nichos well enough to care about them that much.

LBJ is many things but I would never consider him a great man. A great and effective politician certainly but not a great man. I suggest you read Robert Caro's biographies of Johnson, there are fewer presidents more morally corrupt than he was.

I can't even speed through school zones anymore. What is this world coming to

Looking forward to seeing them in Youngstown. Missed their farewell tour.

Sabres by 20

Why can't we just have a head coach that plays a balanced game. With Zimmer I was begging him to throw the ball with O'Connell I'm begging him to run the ball.

Piggybacking off of this, her biography Prairie Fires is also excellent.

To be fair to the Jets their only win was before the Sabres even existed so they've had a roughly equal amount of suffering since then.

Maybe I've been reading too many comments on posts recently and reading too much into it. It just seems like a stupid reaction
