Moneyball 1, Papers 0

I willfully ignored my papers and read Moneyball instead. One of my interviewers this fall recommended it.

So do I, if you've never read it. Even if you're not a baseball fan it's a fascinating story. But it leaves unanswered the big question: what does it really take to win it all? Because making it to the playoffs is only the first step.

(Sort of the way reading cases is only the first step toward writing my papers.)

I also read a couple of the books mentioned by True, which were tons of fun. This whole reading for pleasure idea is good stuff. I'd nearly forgotten. But since I woke up this morning with plans for one of my papers running around in my head, I think it's time to listen to my subconscious.
