Merry Christmas to All
Got my 1st Clifton Blue Parker book, "Fouled Away" from Santa yesterday. Looking forward to reading the entire series of CBP books. The font looks a little bit small but I have to use reading glasses anyway so what the hell.
Happy Holidays to all!

Merry Christmas and have a good New Year.
I think you'll enjoy them. Clean up those spectacles :)

I've read the Al Simmons and Hack Wilson bios and they both have bits and pieces of nostalgia/inside baseball that I had never heard before.

They are also well written. It isn't like reading the Hobbit--it is a fun read
Well, I enjoyed The Hobbit when I was 12 but I wouldn't have called it an easy read.

Funny, I have enjoyed the Hobbit and all of the Tolkien books every time I've read them. Never read these books though, maybe I will give them a look.

Oh I agree, enjoyable, though I think the Hobbit was a tough go for an early adolescent. Tolkien writes beautifully but it was hard to appreciate at the time I guess. The fellowship series were quite easier smaller chunks in my opinion.
Of course, then I tried to read the Silmarillon and all bets were off for the teenager!
