Book 27/30:
"Make Me Commissioner” by Jane Leavy
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ½
Directly up my alley.
Didn’t agree with all of it (only *most* of it), but you won’t find a funnier, honest-er look at what baseball needs to fix right now.
(Bonus points for a Chase DeLauter chapter out of nowhere!)

Book 26/30:
"When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows…” by Steven Pinker
⭐️⭐️
Just nothing here. Had a lot of potential around common knowledge and whatnot, but ruined by writing that desperately wants you to see it as smart without any substance. Not shocking.

Book 25/30:
"Little Bosses Everywhere” by Bridget Read
⭐️⭐️⭐️ ½
Really interesting (if chaotic) dive into how pyramid schemes have burrowed into America, as well as their deep ties to the GOP, from Nixon/Ford to Reagan to Trump.
Fascinating and aggravating in equal measure.

I was always going to read this and I’m glad I did.
Bill is one of the best in the business and provides a precise walk-through of how we got to this */gestures everywhere in college sports* point and what comes next.

Book 23/30:
"Golf Architecture for Normal People” by Geoff Shackelford
⭐️⭐️⭐️ ½
Great writing, good premise.
Just a bit too much “here’s what’s wrong with new courses” big-picture snark for my taste, rather than actual “here’s why they do these things” education.

Book 22/30:
"A City on Mars” by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just a delightful, funny, incredibly-researched book about whether we’ve ACTUALLY thought through everything that living in space entails.
Some VERY deep diving in parts, but right up my alley.

"How to Be Perfect” by Michael Schur

Anybody who knows me knows that it’s wildly embarrassing that I just got around to reading this one.
Obviously hilarious, obviously wholesome, obviously informative. Easy call.

Book 20/30:
"Atmosphere” by Taylor Jenkins Reid
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yeah, that’s right, I read it.
Not my style at all, but she has talent and confidence in spades.
When you’re a romantic writer and you set your romance around space, you write beautifully about space.
Very approved.

Book 19/30:
"Bad Company” by Megan Greenwell
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Outstanding and informative and gripping throughout.
Read this.
You’ll be furious, because of the naked sins of an entire parasitic industry.
But you’ll also be inspired, because they don’t always get to win everything.

Book 18/30:
"The Tiger Slam” by Kevin Cook
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Held back just a bit by some minor writing mishaps, but a really good dive into probably the best 12 months of golf in the history of the sport.
Fun read on one of the more fascinating (good and bad) competitors of my life.

Book 17/30:
"Who is Government?" edited by Michael Lewis
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ½
Eight stories by seven writers, each about people doing great work in public service that you never think or hear about.
I loved this one, in this age of stupid people being angry at unpraised excellence.

Book 16/30:
"The AI Con" by Emily M. Bender and Alex Hanna
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Outstanding book - dragged down a smidge by the occasional dry/repetitive prose, but a necessary read.
You don’t have to believe all this stupid stuff that these people are saying to make themselves rich.

Book 15/30:
"Moral Ambition" by Rutger Bregman
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If Bregman writes it, I’m going to read it. Pretty simple.
This is his most demanding and angriest (and thus, honestly, his most generic) book yet, but it’s a vital one and maintains his touch of lovely humanity.

Book 14/30:
"Playing Dirty" by Joel Beall
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Joel may be the best golf reporter on the planet, so it’s no shock that nobody tells the story of PGA vs. LIV better.
But his lyrical waxing on Scottish golf certainly heals the soul amidst all the grossness in pro golf today.

Book 13/30:
"The Possibility of Life" by Jaime Green
⭐️⭐️⭐️
All about what we’re looking for beyond our world and what it would mean to us as people.
Wonderful topic and very well-presented - I just didn’t quite click with the writing. Most likely more on me than on the book.

"Why Nothing Works" by Marc J. Dunkelman
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ½
Very, very dense, very, very excellent.
Takes a great look at how progressives have tied ourselves in knots (with good intentions!) for a century when it comes to The Doing Of Big Things.
Highly recommend.

🚨 FICTION TIME 🚨
Scalzi answers one of our world’s most important questions:
“What would Earth do if the Moon suddenly turned into cheese?”
Very hilarious, very fun, very biting in perfect spots. Loved it.

"The Club" by Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ½
Another great one in this stretch of sports books!
Such an impressive job of tracing through lines across the last 35 years of English soccer.
Easy for noobs to follow, plenty of BTS depth for EPL nerds.

"A Course Called America" by Tom Coyne

Been some heavy books this year, so gird your loins for a quick detour through Jason’s Sports Books Era.
Great start here: a little meandering at points, but that’s the entire goal - for golf and its people - right?

A classic staple of the genre for a reason - consistently funny, wonderfully written and briskly paced.
