Libros and stuff
Alright, fasten your seatbelts because I am about to get all intellectual on your ass. I want to discuss the concept of “reading”. I know Garrett will not be comfortable with this, since he has only read one book in its entirety in the past 15 years, Fab Five (great book, by the way), but as for the rest of you, listen up, you might learn something.
Bishop asked Nate for 10 books he should be reading, and I am going to usurp that request.
Bishop, you should not be reading any books at all, until you have sat your ass down and read The Brothers K by David James Duncan. (If you already have, please disregard and move on to the next post). I own a copy of this book, actually I own two copies of this book, because Nate absconded with my original copy, that bastard. To add insult to injury, Nate decided half through it, that a light hearted coming-of-age in the Pacific Northwest through baseball tale was in actuality, a bleeding heart hippy manifesto in disguise and bailed out halfway through, and in doing so, missed out on experiencing the entire spectrum of emotion that this book invokes, in addition to some powerful revelations about God.
It's really, really, REALLY damn funny. And on two separate occasions, I actually had to put the book the book down because I could no longer read through my tears. I can admit that because I can kick anyone's ass on this blog.
In conclusion, Bishop, if you haven’t already read this book, drop everything and do it. I found a copy on Half.com for 3 bucks.
Why are you still reading this post? You should be reading The Brothers K.
