Here's the books I'm currently reading:
Just finishing up Michael Lombardi's latest book Football Done Right. Will probably do a Substack post on this book soon but I highly recommend it. Perhaps the best book on the NFL I've read. Liking it so much because I'm also reading it in Lombardi's voice.
Reading Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson. At the point where PayPal was just sold in the book. So far enjoying it very much.
Re-reading The Russia House by John le Carre. Have read the book and seen the movie in the past but am finding the context of the War in Ukraine gives the book deeper meaning than I appreciated in the past. Am having a hard time picturing Barley as anyone but Sean Connery though.
About halfway through Tim Ferriss's Tools of Titans. The Internet related content may be somewhat outdated but finding great book recommendations and timeless quotes. Still feel a real-world MBA based on just the books of Walter Isaacson and Tim Ferriss would be a big winner.

Know the Taylor Swift joke must be getting old but I still enjoy making it. Especially in the face of the rumors that she's "hooking up" with Chiefs TE Travis Kelce. As an aside is there a more bizarre phrase in use today than "hooking up?" People from the future are going to look at us the way we view the language of the 1920's.

Feel almost guilty that the thoughts and observations keep coming so fast. Blame it on the events of the world being so crazy or my OCD need to write things down. I just hope I'm not getting repetitive. Being repetitive has driven me away from some of my favorite writers and podcasters in the past.
