Touche' to Andy for tying in the topical Specter jump with Specter's participation in the Warren Commision and our May theme of Historical Fiction. Young Pat Lubin was much more subtle in his--if anybody out there is paying attention--contribution. On NFL draft weekend, Pat mentioned that he was reading a book about the Dallas Cowboys being the greatest team in history--PURE FICTION--the team has not won a playoff game in 13 years and stockpiles third and fourth round picks.
Let's all tip our hats to Emily who gets credit for the first Pick or Pan with her thumbs up of The Guersny Club. Em--let us know why you like it. Her father followed suit I believe with a thumbs up for Alive. I remember reading that book in seventh grade and I can still recall how the plane stopped as he finished his hail mary, how one guy just walks off into the snow, the jubilation of the father in the cab when he hears on the radio his son is alive, and how he compared the flavor of different parts of the human body to dishes and flavors we are all familiar with. Quite the tale of human triumph.
Speaking of human anatomy, Tim is reading a good book in which the author makes physiological references to Gene Shalit.
Keep the participation coming people--till next time--
Good Reading!
