Right now, I'm reading: 

LOOSE BALLS by Terry Pluto. History of the American Basketball Association. 

***************************************************

Mike: 

That is a great book and one of the best ever written about professional basketball. If you like it look for Pluto's other book called TALL TALES: The Glory Years of the NBA. It is written in the same format with former players, coaches, etc. talking about the sport before it became a financial juggernaut in the early 80s.

Now starting HANG ON ST. CHRISTOPHER by Adrian McKinty, the eighth and newest hardcover release in his ongoing mystery series featuring detective inspector Sean Duffy and set in Ireland during The Troubles.

I have to admit that reading this series has shown me just how clueless I was about the conflict in Northern Ireland during my youth.

Already 1/3 on the way in the third book in the series of “A Follet valley
mystery” by Ian Moore: “Death at the Chateau”.

There is a story arc for the main characters through the 3 books, like
subplots. And the author still manages to make something delightful and
fresh with all the routines ( and murders ) of that small wold.

I am enjoying it a lot.

I bought some classic Robert E Howard collections - Kull and Bran Mac Morn (with some gorgeous Gary Gianni illustrations and end notes) that I will devour this summer!
