Remembering is hard, so let's do the ones currently on my desk and in my backpack.

I went through a bit of a Baseball Books phase:

The Only Rule is It Has to Work is about two statisticians who basically take over the front office of an independent baseball team and try to make a ridiculous, rule-breaking, experimental but stats-driven success story. It mostly works, but the stories and the humanity that come along were the real championship all along. Fun stuff.

I re-read The Art of Fielding. This was my 5th time through. It's so good.

Bang the Drum Slowly is coming along... slowly. It's entertaining, but I'm not sure how much is there. It's also a bit difficult (gross?) sometimes to read about professional jock culture in the 1950s. Especially when it comes to race and gender. Oh well.

School and school-related books:

Reading Hartmann von Aue's Iwein for a class in literature of the middle ages. We're also translating parts out of the Middle High German ourselves, so that's fun. I love Arthurian novels.

I've been marching through William Carlos Williams' Paterson since seeing the film Paterson and then seeing some of his poetry on my syllabus for American Pragmatism. It's alright. Not a huge fan of modernist poetry but oh well. The film was good.

And finally, I made it through a book I've been meaning to read for the past 230 days:

Gerald Murnane's The Plains. Hard to describe, harder to understand, but an absolute joy to read. Honestly, read the Times article from that old post. They describe Murnane way better than I could. All I can add: his work stands up to their praise. I started on Inland last week.
