Books #10 and #11

#10  The Mystery at Devils Paw

The Mystery At Devil'S Paw Hardy Boys

I was cleaning out some old boxes in the garage and found my childhood collection of Hardy Boys Series.  I remembered this one and sat down and read the thing from cover to cover on a rainy afternoon.  How times have changed!  The Hardy Boys knew what was up, but they went out into the Alaskan Wilderness wearing slacks and loafers.  They were fearless and intrepid, sympathetic to the native peoples and knew a bad guy when they saw one.  It was a fun read and I have to give it ***** 5 stars!

#11  Eleven Rings

Phil Jackson is a very interesting guy.  There is little doubt he would have succeeded in anything he worked at in life.  The child of two Midwestern Pentecostal preachers who became a hippie of sorts in NYC.  I don't know how enjoyable he would be as a friend but he certainly knows how to connect to his players.  Not so much with his bosses.  Funny how that works.  A nice read, but I would have liked to hear more how his Zen philosophy affected him rather than his players.    *** 3 stars
